MOSCOW, April 3. /TASS/. The United States should keep in mind consequences entailed by disregard of international law and interests of other countries, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told TASS on Friday.
In response to a question whether US commitments, made under the context of the Caribbean crisis, remained legally bound today, he pointed out to the efficiency of all agreements breached by the US side.
"That compromise, which was reached under the most complicated conditions and extreme global risks, reminds Washington today of how the [possible] consequences may look like," the Russian diplomat added.
The situation in Cuba sharply worsened in late January, after the United States announced measures aimed at blocking all oil supplies to the island. The energy situation became critical. In March, the national power grid failed three times, most recently on March 21, resulting in long periods of power outages across the country.
Cuba is experiencing severe shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel, as well as shortages of food and medications.
Several foreign airlines have announced the suspension of their flights to the republic due to a lack of aviation kerosene, or jet fuel, at its airports.
