Russian ship carrying oil docks in Cuba, allowed to proceed despite US energy blockade
The Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin delivered about 700,000 barrels of crude oil to Cuba to ease energy shortages amid U.S. sanctions, marking the first shipment in three months.
- The Russian oil tanker Anatoly Kolodkin arrived at Matanzas port in Cuba carrying 730,000 barrels of oil, the first oil shipment in three months despite the US energy blockade.
- The US maintains its energy blockade on Cuba but allowed the ship through to meet humanitarian needs, as stated by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
- Cuba faces severe fuel shortages impacting hospitals, schools, government offices, and tourism due to the blockade, causing limited fuel availability and operational challenges.
- Experts say Cuba urgently needs diesel for power and transportation; the Russian oil will only support the Cuban economy for a few weeks due to refining delays at Havana's outdated facility.
