Russia is set to deliver crude oil and fuel to Cuba as humanitarian aid, according to reports from Izvestia citing the Russian embassy. The move comes as Cuba faces a severe fuel shortage following U.S. sanctions that disrupted its oil supply chain. ✈️ Airlines were recently warned that jet fuel may soon run out on the island.
Cuba has historically relied on Venezuela for fuel, but shipments halted in December 2025 after U.S. intervention blocked exports. A Russian diplomat confirmed the upcoming delivery, marking the first such aid since February 2025, when Moscow sent 100,000 metric tons of oil.
Russia criticized U.S. efforts to 'suffocate' Cuba's economy and pledged solidarity with Havana and Caracas. 🔥 'The situation is critical,' a statement read, vowing to oppose 'military intervention' in the region.
This lifeline could ease Cuba's energy woes, but tensions over global energy politics are heating up. Stay tuned for updates! 📰
