Cuba has urgently appealed for international assistance amid escalating tensions with the United States, which it blames for a humanitarian crisis caused by sanctions and a fuel blockade. In a speech to the United Nations Security Council, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla highlighted the dire situation, warning that the country is facing severe shortages of food, medicine, and fuel, alongside increasing power blackouts. He accused the US of tightening economic restrictions and suggested that any military action from the US would lead to a 'bloodbath.' Rodriguez also criticized the recent indictment of former Cuban president Raul Castro, describing it as politically motivated. He emphasized Cuba's commitment to peace and international cooperation, while expressing willingness to engage in bilateral talks with the US, provided there is no interference in Cuba's internal matters. The call for solidarity comes as Cuba struggles under a longstanding trade embargo and increasing political pressure from Washington.
