Russian Prime Minister Dimitri Medvedev has extended a warm welcome to Cuban President Raul Castro, who is in Moscow for the celebration of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. The two leaders held talks at a moment when Russia’s relations with the West have been strained, and many Western leaders did not attend the victory celebration. The Cuban leader said that as a child he paid close attention to the outcome of World War II and was especially happy to attend the celebration. teleSUR
