00:00The Association of Cuban Residents in Venezuela reopened its support for the revolution and
00:05condemns the blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba.
00:08The organization rejected the U.S. threats of military intervention and reopened its
00:13commitment to the sovereignty of the Caribbean nation in the face of what it describes as
00:18imperialist pressure.
00:20In this regard, the group assured that the nation's independence is non-negotiable and
00:25that they will not accept foreign totalization under any pretext.
00:29Similarly, its members reiterated that they remain alert to the escalation of rhetoric
00:34from Washington and that the defense of their homeland is an irrevocable commitment.
00:46In Hawaii, several social organizations are launching a national solidarity campaign to
00:52collect medicines that will be sent to Cuba.
00:54The initiative seeks to mitigate the impact of sanctions imposed by the United States, which
00:59hinder access to essential medical supplies for the Cuban people.
01:03In this regard, the campaign has collected more than 600 kilograms of medicines and donations
01:08were received with wide public participation.
01:11The shipments will be coordinated with various Uruguayan delegations traveling to the island
01:16in April, May, July and August.
01:23Well, everyone has their own motivation, mine is very clear, I first visited Cuba 15 years
01:29ago, I was in Havana alone for very special reasons, and I've always had this idea of going there
01:34on May 1st, and when people with certain, let's say, similar mindsets start to gather, and we see
01:39what's happening in the world, and we see the difficulties that the Cuban people is facing right now, well, it
01:45moves
01:45us all a little, the emotion and solidarity that we should show to the Cuban people, who have
01:50always shown it to the whole world, and, since time immemorial, to Uruguay.
01:57On Friday, Russia and China once again reaffirmed their absolute support for Cuba in the face of
02:03aggression from the United States. Foreign Minister Spokesperson Maunin stated that they will support
02:08Cuba in exercising the diplomatic and legal means necessary to defend itself. In this regard,
02:14Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryakov, who confirmed following a meeting with
02:19President Miguel DĂ­az-Canel, that they have no intention of leaving the hemisphere, much
02:24less betraying the Caribbean nation.
