TEHRAN, Feb. 20 (MNA) – Reacting to the recent anti-Russian propaganda triggered by the US and Western countries, the Cuban foreign minister said that his country opposes the expansion of NATO in Eastern Europe.

"We strongly reject the media and propaganda hysteria triggered by the US government against Russia, and we firmly oppose NATO's expansion towards the borders of that sister nation", Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, the Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs said.

Russia believes that the West's claims of an imminent invasion of Ukraine are an excuse to advance NATO's military presence to the east of Europe.
