MOSCOW, October 31 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will support a draft resolution at the UN General Assembly to lift the economic, trade and financial blockade of Cuba, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Monday.

"We share the opinion of the international community, which is in favor of lifting the blockade," said Mikhail Kamynin in the run-up to the November 8 vote.

"Nothing can justify using a blockade as a means to put pressure on an independent state and a UN member," Kamynin said. "This is an anachronism from the Cold War and in no way corresponds to the spirit of our times."

According to the ministry spokesman, the global community should seek broad cooperation and integration, and joint efforts to counter new threats and challenges.
