Appeals Raise Funds for Emergency Medical Aid to Cuba in Aftermath of Hurricane Melissa
November 1, 2025
The representative of Poland, speaking on behalf of Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, as well as his own government, told the assembly the group would abstain, citing Cuba’s alleged support of “Russia in its war of aggression against Ukraine.” He echoed one of Washington’s charges, accusing Havana of “turning a blind eye on the active participation of its nationals in an illegal war of aggression… we refer specifically to the large number of Cuban nationals who are participating in ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine just across our borders.”
On October 11, Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MinRex) had issued a statement rejecting these very allegations as “slanderous.” It pointed out that since these accusations were first made in 2023 no evidence or substantiation has been offered.

I think a trading embargo with America is the best thing for Cuba right now.

"For example, the stated goal of both the Helms-Burton Act and the Torricelli law is to strangle the Cuban economy by cutting off its ability to carry out normal financial relations around the world."
Torricelli law, that's a principle of fluid dynamics, guess they shared a name, they must have meant the Torricelli-Graham Bill.
