Havana: Russia's Interior Minister, Vladimir Kolokoltsev began a visit to ally Cuba Tuesday, at a time when Washington is ramping up pressure on the communist island US President Donald Trump has said "is ready to fall."
Trump this month warned Havana to "make a deal," the nature of which he did not divulge, or pay a price similar to Venezuela, whose leader Nicolas Maduro was ousted by US forces in a January 3 bombing raid that killed dozens of people.
Venezuela was a key ally of Cuba and a critical supplier of oil and money, which Trump has vowed to cut off.
"We in Russia regard this as an act of unprovoked armed aggression against Venezuela," Kolokoltsev told Russian state TV Rossiya-1 of the US actions after landing in Cuba.
"This act cannot be justified in any way and once again proves the need to increase vigilance and consolidate all efforts to counter external factors," he added.
