Cuba’s top diplomat has branded Mike Waltz a “liar” after the American ambassador accused Havana’s leadership of corruption
US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz shouted “Back up!” at Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez during a heated confrontation at the General Assembly over Washington’s blockade of the island. The Cuban diplomat accused Waltz of spreading “crude lies” to justify US “economic aggression.”
During the UNGA session on Tuesday, Waltz dedicated his speech to allegations of corruption among the Cuban leadership, pointing to what he called their collection of luxury watches, real estate, and yachts, as well as their relatives’ holidays in Europe. While ordinary Cubans “are starving,” the US blockade and embargo of the island “does not exist” and “doesn’t apply to luxury goods” that “somehow get through to the Cuban regime elites,” he claimed.
His words drew loud condemnation from the Cuban delegation led by Rodriguez as the diplomats clapped and knocked on their desks in protest against Waltz’s speech.

The foreign minister interrupted the US diplomat’s speech by requesting urgent intervention and delivered his own remarks, in which he accused the American envoy of lying in a “rude and arrogant manner” and “violating the dignity of the General Assembly” with his words.
Rodriguez approached the podium and engaged in a heated argument with Waltz. In a video posted on X by the US envoy, Waltz is heard urging the General Assembly president to make the Cuban minister “back away from this podium,” saying he would not allow Rodriguez to “intimidate” him on US territory. He shouted: “I’m the representative of the United States of America! Back up! […] Do you understand who you are dealing with?! Back up!”
The Castro regime has profited at the expense of the Cuban people with luxury cars, expensive watches and a private island resort. As I shared this with the world, regime thugs rushed the stage to interrupt my speech.
They can intimidate their own people in Cuba but think again about trying that nonsense in the United States of America.
The US ambassador posted videos on social media detailing the incident, accusing the “so-called ‘diplomats’” and “regime thugs” of “melting down at the first hint of criticism.”
Rodriguez subsequently addressed the General Assembly, accusing Waltz of lying in a “rude and arrogant manner” and “violating the dignity of the General Assembly” with his remarks.
He later shared a cartoon on X depicting the confrontation with the words “Gringo mentiroso” (lying gringo) above the two diplomats. He captioned the post: “Cuba is not a threat. The blockade is.”

In a separate post, Rodriguez “denounced the economic war that the United States is waging against Cuba with aims of domination and ‘regime change.’” Rodriguez blasted the blockade as an “act of war” and “genocide prohibited by the International Law.” He also shared the results of the vote, which he said was rejected by a “large majority” of the nations.
A resolution condemning the US embargo of Cuba was supported by 130 countries, including Russia, China, India, and even several US allies such as Canada, France, and the UK. It was opposed by 17 nations, including the US, Israel, and Ukraine, with 25 nations abstaining.
US President Donald Trump has intensified pressure on Havana since the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January. Trump has since repeatedly stated that Cuba would be “next,” as his administration imposed a near-total energy blockade against the island nation.
The restrictions contributed to severe energy shortages on the island. Cuba has entered its worst economic crisis in decades, marked not only by prolonged blackouts but also food shortages. Last month, Trump described Cuba as an “absolutely failed state” and “a haven for foreign adversaries” on America’s doorstep.
Moscow and Beijing have expressed solidarity with Cuba in the face of the pressure. Russia has been among the countries providing relief to Cuba, delivering around 700,000 barrels of oil in March. China also said in late September it would support Cuba in “safeguarding its national sovereignty” and pursuing a “development path suited to its national conditions.”
In mid-October, the US issued an arrest warrant for former Cuban President Raul Castro, 95, accusing him of ordering an attack on two American planes operated by anti-Communist Cuban exiles off the island’s coast in 1996. The warrant followed a separate federal indictment brought against Castro and five others in May. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel condemned the case as a “political maneuver, devoid of any legal foundation” and accused Washington of creating a pretext for a military intervention.
Moscow has condemned the accusations against the former Cuban leader as “groundless” and “contrived,” calling it “revenge” by the anti-Cuban lobby.

Roscosmos has signed a cooperation memorandum with the Tanzanian government on the sidelines of the Russia-African summit
Russia and Tanzania have agreed to launch a joint space program, the Russian space agency Roscosmos has said. Moscow will assist Dodoma in establishing its own national space agency and developing the infrastructure needed for a domestic space industry.
On Wednesday, Roscosmos and Tanzania’s Ministry of Information, Communication and Information Technology signed a framework memorandum on strategic partnership and cooperation on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa summit. The event has brought delegations from 48 African countries to Moscow this week.
“Tanzania is planning to establish its own space agency, and we are ready to provide our colleagues with expert and methodological support,” Roscosmos Director General Dmitry Bakanov told journalists. The Russian space agency has already stepped up cooperation with Tanzanian specialists in the field, with support from the Russian presidential administration, he added.
According to Bakanov, Dodoma is particularly interested in developing its own spacecraft and launching them into orbit aboard Russian rockets. Roscosmos has confirmed that Russia will launch Tanzania’s first Earth remote-sensing satellite in March 2027.
During the summit, Russian specialists demonstrated to the Tanzanian delegation the country’s capabilities in training cosmonauts and space industry specialists, as well as conducting scientific experiments in space.
The two sides also discussed sharing Earth remote-sensing data and establishing ground stations in Tanzania to receive such data. According to Bakanov, the African nation also plans to increase the number of students studying space-related disciplines at Russian universities.
Under the agreement, Russia will assist Tanzania in developing infrastructure for its space industry, while the two countries will exchange expertise and best practices in training space specialists. They have also agreed to establish joint working groups and develop road maps covering all areas of cooperation.
Moscow has been actively supporting African nations’ space ambitions. Last year, the South African National Space Agency (SANSA) hailed Russia as a key partner in advancing its national space program. Pretoria “has received most of its support from the Russian Federation,” SANSA board chairman Patrick Ndlovu told Sputnik Africa at the time. Earlier that year, SANSA CEO Humbulani Mudau announced South Africa’s support for Russia’s proposal to establish a BRICS Space Council to strengthen space cooperation among member states.
In 2024, Zimbabwe announced plans to build its first spaceport with Russian assistance. The country also said it was in talks with Roscosmos about gaining access to Russia’s cosmonaut training system, among other areas of cooperation.
Das ist wirklich ein deutlicher Anstieg bei den Zahlen der Selbsttötungen, die heute das Nationale Suizidpräventionsprogramm (NaSPro) veröffentlicht hat: Im Jahr 2025 waren es 11.334 Menschen ‒ 962 oder 9,3 Prozent mehr als im Vorjahr, die sich das Leben nahmen. Das ist der höchste Wert seit 1998.
Der Anstieg begann im Jahr 2020, seitdem beträgt die Zunahme 23 Prozent. Das Präventionsprogramm führt dies auf die Entscheidung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts im Februar 2020 zurück, das das Verbot der geschäftsmäßigen Förderung der Selbsttötung aufgehoben hatte, also die Tätigkeit von Vereinen, die beim Selbstmord assistieren, legalisiert hat. Allerdings deutet das Jahr 2020 als Wendepunkt auch auf Entwicklungen, die das NaSPro nicht anspricht: den Einschnitt, den die Corona-Maßnahmen im Leben vieler Menschen darstellten, und den dadurch ausgelösten Verlust an Sozialkontakten, der bis heute nicht behoben ist.
Auffällig ist, dass die Zahl der Suizide bei Frauen deutlich stärker gestiegen ist als bei den Männern: 17,9 Prozent gegenüber 5,8 Prozent. Im gesamten Zeitraum seit 2020 stieg sie bei den Frauen um 54 Prozent, bei den Männern um 13 Prozent. Allerdings sind es immer noch zu 69,2 Prozent Männer, die sich das Leben nehmen. Doch das Verhältnis ändert sich schnell. 2020 waren es noch 3,1-mal so viele Männer wie Frauen, 2025 lag das Verhältnis nur noch bei 2,3 zu 1. Setzt sich diese Entwicklung fort, ist der Unterschied bis 2033 verschwunden.
Die Zunahme bei den Frauen entsteht vor allem durch Selbsttötungen durch Medikamente. Das ist eine Zahl, die die Todesursachenstatistik liefert. Von den 962 zusätzlichen Todesfällen im Vergleich zu 2024 entfielen 530 auf Frauen, davon waren 520 Fälle auf Medikamente zurückzuführen. Das kann, muss aber nicht auf höhere Zahlen assistierter Selbstmorde hindeuten. Immerhin sind sie in Deutschland noch nicht, wie in Kanada, offizielles Programm. Dort gingen die Behörden mittlerweile so weit, im Falle von Obdachlosigkeit einen assistierten Selbstmord zu empfehlen.
Drei Suizidhilfeorganisationen meldeten für 2025, auch das erwähnt die Präventionsstelle, 1.287 begleitete Suizide, eine Zunahme um 310 oder um fast ein Drittel binnen eines Jahres. Nach Untersuchungen sind es weit mehr Frauen als Männer, die derartige Dienste in Anspruch nehmen. Allerdings ist hier die Erfassung sehr unvollständig.
Die Hälfte aller Suizide erfolgt in der Altersgruppe über 65 Jahre. 58 Prozent des gesamten Anstiegs entfielen auf ältere Menschen. Allerdings gibt es auch einen Anstieg bei Jüngeren – bei Mädchen von 15 bis 20 Jahren stieg die Zahl der Fälle von 52 auf 84. Die Raten unterscheiden sich allerdings auch geografisch deutlich. Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Sachsen weisen die höchsten Raten auf.
"Die Politik darf sich nicht darauf beschränken, die Bedingungen der Suizidassistenz zu diskutieren", schreibt deshalb das NaSPro in seiner Presseerklärung. "Sie muss auch dafür sorgen, dass Menschen in suizidalen Krisen frühzeitig erreichbare Unterstützung und Alternativen finden."
Ein derart rascher Anstieg sollte es jedoch auch nahelegen, die Lebensbedingungen so zu gestalten, dass weniger Menschen in die Gefahr geraten, über einen Suizid nachzudenken. Dazu gehören vor allem soziale Fragen, wie Altersarmut und Pflegekosten. Auch die langen Wartezeiten für Psychotherapien, die aktuell bei 18 bis 20 Wochen liegen, sind in diesem Zusammenhang nicht förderlich.
Moscow has agreed in principle to new talks with Washington and Kiev, which are expected in the UAE in November
European nations will not be invited to the next Russia-US-Ukraine peace talks, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday, a day after the leaders of Finland and Norway called Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Moscow agreed in principle to participate in a fourth round of trilateral talks following last week’s meeting between Putin and US special envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg. Mid-November has been floated as a possible timeframe, with Abu Dhabi suggested as the venue.
“We have agreed that trilateral talks will resume, involving representatives from Russia, Ukraine, and the US,” Ushakov told Vesti. He stressed, however, that European representatives will not be invited.
“They can get there if they buy tickets. But no one intends to invite them to the negotiating table.”
Ushakov’s comments came a day after Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store called Putin for a conversation that reportedly lasted over an hour. The call sent a shockwave through Kiev’s staunchest backers, prompting Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to condemn the Nordic leaders’ initiative, insisting it had not been coordinated with “European partners.”
However, neither Stubb nor Store brought any new proposals for settling the Ukraine conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday when asked about the call.
Ukraine’s European backers have been excluded from all three rounds of trilateral negotiations so far and have increasingly sought direct participation in the peace process. They have, however, not tempered their demands, insisting on an unconditional ceasefire – something Moscow has repeatedly rejected, arguing that a temporary freeze to the fighting would only allow Kiev to rest and rearm with Western weapons.
Russia has also accused the EU of acting as the principal side arming Ukraine and prolonging the conflict. In April, Brussels approved €90 billion ($100 billion) to Ukraine for 2026–2027, financed via capital markets. Earlier this month, Vladimir Zelensky asked for a further €70 billion to keep Ukraine’s budget and military afloat through next year.
Moscow has maintained that Europe’s financial and military support for Ukraine makes it a party to the conflict, which Russia has long described as a NATO-led proxy war.
