Cuba Backs Russia Over Crisis In Georgia
CUBA has backed Russia in its conflict with Georgia, saying Russia’s demand for Georgia’s full pullout from South Ossetia before agreeing to a ceasefire was “just”.
“The demand for prior withdrawal of the invaders is just, and our government supports it,” Cuban President Raul Castro said in a written statement.
Mr Castro said Russian troops had been deployed in South Ossetia legally as a peacekeeping force.
“Therefore, it is false to assert that Georgia is now defending its national sovereignty,” he said.
Russia sent its tanks and troops to pro-Moscow South Ossetia on Friday in response to pro-Western Georgia’s military offensive to take back the province, which broke away in the early 1990s after a separatist war.

What else would we expect from a fellow communist and a cooperative communist government?
