A Russian oil tanker has arrived in Cuba, delivering a crucial shipment of crude as the island grapples with a severe fuel crisis under US restrictions. The tanker, carrying hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil, marks the first such delivery in months.
Cuba has been facing widespread blackouts and energy shortages after US measures disrupted oil supplies, including flows from key partners like Venezuela.
The delivery is seen as a temporary lifeline, with Russia signalling continued support for Cuba amid the ongoing crisis. However, long-term supply remains uncertain as geopolitical tensions persist.
