Russia opposes US policy of sanctions against countries disliked by Washington. This was stated by the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin at a meeting with the Chairman of the State Council and the Council of Ministers of Cuba Miguel Mario Diaz-Canel Bermudez on Friday, November 2. “When one country cancels all the agreements, all the achievements of the countries united in the UN, this is unacceptable and we oppose such a policy,” Volodin emphasized. He recalled, in particular, that Russian parliamentarians received 16 appeals and statements in support of Cuba in its fight against US restrictive measures.. Recently, at a vote in the UN General Assembly, the vast majority of countries also supported Cuba.. Only in this way - all together - and it is possible to effectively deal with similar challenges to the modern world order, Volodin is convinced. "Sanctions policy is something that we all must oppose. Because it contradicts both international norms and the rules that we believe should be in our multipolar world, "said the speaker, noting that only the UN Security Council is authorized to make decisions on the imposition of sanctions. Meanwhile, the United States considers itself entitled to use sanctions as a personal political tool.. As a result, Russia, Cuba, China, Iran, Turkey and many other countries are forced to fight them.. "The world cannot live in a situation of sanctions, a situation of tension, this only causes anxiety, which ends in conflicts. And the world was created not for conflict, but for life ", - said the speaker of the State Duma.
