The Government of Dominica has established a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Russia for disaster and emergency preparedness.
The Hon. Minister for Justice, Immigration and National Security, Rayburn Blackmoore anticipates that this new aspect of diplomatic relations for aid and consultation in emergency preparedness will bring best practices in these areas to Dominica.
In addition to the MOU, the Russian Government has also provided Dominica with relief supplies.
Russian Deputy Director of Russia’s Emergency Control Ministry (EMERCOM) said that the Russian Government was immediately moved to assist Dominica in its time of need.
The food supply includes canned foods, fish and rice.
Blackmoore expressed his gratitude on behalf of Dominica for the relief supplies.
“I feel very honored and touched to receive on behalf of government of Dominica and people of Dominica twelve containers of approximately 280 tons of relief supplies,” he said.
Dominica and the Russian Federation established diplomatic relations in 1995.
In addition to food, fish and rice, what way will the Russians support preparedness and response? Will the contents of this MOU be made public?
wasn’t it the UWP who signed diplomatic relations with Russia and Cuba back in the nineties when the came in power? just thinking that was visionary because today we benefiting
Key words in this article Dominica is going to benefit, and NOT the Pockets of Ministers .
“Francisco, please stop that crap talking you are a typical workers supporter, what happens in Russia many years ago could of happened to any country with Nuclear power Reactor, ”
Man bite dog if we were still in 2017, I would probably call you by a nasty name; but that is behind me. So, I will simply take the time to inform you that wherever, no matter which country the Russians enter and interfere with, the result is a destroyed economy.
In your backyard we have Cuba, in dilapidated state caused by more than fifty years of communism; All of the ALBA nations in South America Russian communism destroyed. For you information Mr. Roosevelt Puppet Dog man:
Hahahahahahahahahah!
The Russians were went all over Africa influencing communism on indigenous homeland, and was eventually kicked out because the Africans discovered they do not help any country develop,all they do is give guns, ammunition, and promote communism: That is all you and Roosevelt will get from Russia.
Cont:
Finally Mr. Roosevelt little puppet, if you live in England you must have seen in the news how many of the people who oppose Puttin, his totalitarian communism ideology, and his corrupt murderous behavior, are either poisoned or are gun down in the streets of Russia.
Perhaps you may have seen one of his victims of poison who was treated. In one day after eating: Prior to eating he was a white man by the time he was finished eating he turned into a green man with bumps, and boils all over his face and body!
If DNO would allow it, I would post some pictures of the victims that are subjected to the brutality; let me tell you something; Russians are the most, prejudice Puttin once said Black people should not be on Television in America anchoring the news, he said only white people should have that job okay!
They took Black African Students to Russia, segregated them; thus that was the cause for kicking the Russian out of Africa.
Workers creepy party, and supporters are all running scared stiff of Skerrit and his government nervous panicky and worried, if i was a blue fly me too would feel the same way, and just to let you suckers know Red is power Red is Love and Red is the Sun and Life!!
The time you spend showing concern about Workers and there supporters you should be very concern about your PM and why is he in doing in bed with the Russians, by the way I know Maria destroyed the Islands but I would suggest that you bring yourself up to date as the investigation going on in the USA about Trump and the Russians open your eye and common sense if you have any and be concern about Dominica instead.
Putin don’t want to take over Dominica because we ain’t got Jack …. to give them. They just see Dominicans as idiots, maybe they read comments on DNO.
All these UWP supporters who find something wrong with this Russian affair must remember that they also believed that there was something wrong with the China Dominica affair. We must also remember that after a visit to China by the opposition leader and his team, everything became sweet and dandy with no more China bashing.
After much suffering, starvation, poverty, and inhumane treatment which lasted almost a century; South Africa is in the process of reclaiming all its lands from, as they put it, “the criminals.” I guess they mean from those who stole in from them – Look how times have changed, eh!!?? We are now willingly and willfully giving away our lands to those who sees no need to fight for it.
We cannot tolerate Skerrit’s greed and madness and deprived our children of their beautiful Island. If we don’t vote the labor party out; we may look very hard to see anyone who looks like us in this Dominica. And, I may also add, there is a reason for all these recent disaster occurring on the Island with no end in sight. When hurricane gone we have road collapse, landslides, rivers overflowing their banks like never before. We need good people to straighten this place up. It may take some sacrifice but I’m willing. ENOUGH ISN’T ENOUGH FOR THIS LABOR PARTY – But it’s enough for us. We shouldn’t…
If the Russians do not have preparedness for disasters in their country, how are they going to assists us to prepare! What new about preparedness that most Dominicans do know about by now.
If they were so good and disaster preparedness how come so many people died a few years ago when there was a melt down in a city of a nuclear power generating plant. Can the doctor disclosed how many people died, or is it still a concealed communists secrete?
@ Francisco, please stop that crap talking you are a typical workers supporter, what happens in Russia many years ago could of happened to any country with Nuclear power Reactor, accidents do happen the main thing is to learn from your mistakes, America has many many faults and still have not learned anything much from the pass!!!!
Chernobyl / wormwood. 1986.
Only other place i see this name is in the book of Revelation.
I see that you did some home work and you a so correct how are they going to do something which they never did before, Dominicans stop being dolts.
The Russians are here to do what they do the best which is to meddle in our elections. Russia played a significant role in the election of Donald Trump so now it’s time for them to help Skerrit as we prepare for a snap election. We might get voter’s iD but Skerrit and Russia have a bigger one coming. Everybody is coming in the name of Maria but this thing is much bigger and much deeper than we think. I hope Dominicans realize that China, Russia and North Korea are very good friends and are plotting and spying together. Also, I hope Dominicans know the Chinese Embassy located in close to Skerrit’s house is comprised of both Chinese and North Koreans and Russia is slowly coming. What all you looking for there all you will surely get it
Next it will be KIM JONG-UN and North Korea to make their contribution or payment May for passport
You not living in America nor are you an American. Dominica is a small Island it has to have good relations with everyone.
So does a prostitute.
What did the Polit Bureau give your leader?
Skerrrat has killed Dominica and is now in the process of burying her. He continues to make it harder for the U.S to Issue visas to Dominica nationals; at the same time his entire family has US visas or passport. How stupider could Dominicans get? Hope trump is watching; may be too busy himself with russia.
Vote skerrit and his crooks out of the lower orifice.
I still wonder how many Dominica diplomatic passports are in the hands of Russians. Who knows ?
How many American passports are in the hands of Dominicans?
A direct and straight comparison would have been to ask how many American (U.S.A.) DIPLOMATIC are in the hands of Dominicans. You conveniently left that out.
My bad, you blue flies are all dopeys and always taking like your heads between your legs.

Look here you guys will see what Russia is up to. The US is not innocent. These folks a fighting for world domination and history has shown they will kill swindle and use whoever they have to to meet thier goals. Russia, China, Britain, The US dont care to much about black folks in a lil Caribbean island. They come in when there is a leader they can exploit to further there goals. It never ends well. Black man needs to be independent so we are not beggars or easily manipulated. In life we have to pick our battles and it is better to jump out of the boat and be eaten by sharks than to be enslaved by another man.
While they come around bearing gifts like they care they are making weapons of mass destruction to destroy mankind. US and Russia again in a proxy war in Syria where 100s of thousands have been killed with no end in site. 60 people killed and a tiny island damaged and they come bearing gifts like its because they care about human life. Haiti been suffering for decades where is the assistance. Hurricane, volcanoes, earthquake and floods are power of nature. They clean the air, the soil, bring minerals and nutrients to the land, encourage resilience. They have killed and cause less destruction than what this countries have created on this planet. The reason they even cause death its because man dont learn. We build live in risk areas without regard. Dominica has everything it needs to survive and i am frankly tired of all these false pretense in the name of aid. A predator on the plains of africa looks for the weakest in the heard and exploits. Russia is a predator.
The same begging monies you all say you all are ENTITLED to and want to kill Skerrit for.
Rum shop simple minded argument. Any money recieved by Skerrit on behalf of dominica belongs to Dominica not skerrit or labour party. Secondly one does not have to take help from any amd everyone. If the mexican drug lord or a terrorist affiliate were to donate to Dominica would you say yes and take it. No direct donations from any country is for free. There are aleays underlying reasons. If Russia and America cared about suffering of world inhabitants we would be last in line for assistance.
Any help is welcome. However, I am far more interested in the agreement signed between Francine Baron and mr. Lavrov, the foreign Minister of Russia, at the Rus hotel in Sochi on 14 Nov. 2016, which I believe is at the bottom of this aid programme. What is in there that can not be aired? Did our government in fact double cross China?
I worried about that move.
Skerrit trying to leave a legacy like Maurice Bishop et al. What he looking for he will get it. Dominica goverment like a prostitute taking from everything that pass giving. Russia see a hole and they will exploit. Why am i seeing us go back to the days of the late 70s. Black man will forever remain the footmat of the human race. We going to pay for these past 215 yrs dearly soon.
Russia?ebeh we finish
MOU with China, Russia and soon North Korea. That’s Skerrits foreign policy for begging. It will all backfire for Dominica. You all mark my words.
Blackmoore and Skerrit Russia too,now Dominica finish,i hope you fools are aware that Russia wants to conquer the world,Putin holds a hard heart for the fall of the Soviet Union,all the warnings are there,from the top US officials ,but just sad that the orange man does not believe,but Russia is a great threat to our Region right now.
