Moscow accuses Washington of “intimidation” in the Western Hemisphere and warns that Western containment policies threaten global peace
Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Evgueni Ivánov has accused the United States of exerting strong pressure on Cuba and intimidating Nicaragua and other countries in the Western Hemisphere, framing these actions as part of a renewed, neocolonial Monroe Doctrine.
Ivanov stated that “United States, in the spirit of a renewed Monroe Doctrine of a neocolonial nature, exerts strong pressure on Cuba, intimidates Nicaragua and other countries in the Western Hemisphere.”
He added that Washington also targets governments that “dare to have their own vision of the development model and choose their partners.”
In his remarks on broader international conflicts, the Russian official described actions by the United States and Israel against Lebanon and Iran as a “use of unjustified force against the civilian population.”

He emphasized that the West’s policy of containing Russia and China poses a threat to global peace.
