Terrible crisis after the American blockade, Russia sends an oil ship to Cuba

Russia said on Monday that a tanker carrying 100,000 cubic meters of crude oil had arrived in Cuba. Moscow said it would stand by its friends and work on further supplies, despite a US blockade of the communist island.

The US cut off Venezuelan oil exports to Cuba after the ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, and US President Donald Trump threatened punitive tariffs on any other country that shipped crude oil to Cuba.

However, Trump signaled on Sunday that he was changing course, expressing sympathy for the Cuban people's need for energy.

The Russian Transport Ministry announced that the ship “Anatoly Kolodkin” was waiting to unload its cargo at the port of Matanzas. The Kremlin stated that it had raised the issue of this ship during talks with the United States, but that Russia felt an obligation to support “friends” in Cuba.

"This issue was indeed raised in advance during contacts with our American partners," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

According to President Miguel Diaz-Canel, Cuba has not received a single oil tanker in three months. The energy crisis has caused power outages across the country of 10 million people. Health officials say the crisis has increased the risk of death for cancer patients, especially children.

Cuba became dependent on the Soviet Union for oil after the 1959 communist revolution and needs imported fuel for power generation.

Asked if other Russian deliveries would follow, Peskov said: "In the desperate situation that the Cubans are in now, this of course cannot leave us indifferent, so we will continue to work in this direction."

Ship tracking data from LSEG showed that the Russian vessel had left the Russian port of Primorsk in the Baltic Sea on March 8 and was now moving along the northern coast of Cuba, Reuters writes.
