A fleet of Russian warships has reached Cuba ahead of planned military exercises in the Caribbean, seen as a Russian show of force with tensions escalating over the Ukraine war.
US officials expect the Russian ships, including a nuclear-powered submarine, to stay in the region for the next few months, despite affirming that they pose no direct threat to the US.
Russia's recent naval deployments in the Caribbean are seen as a message to the US, following President Biden's authorization to strike inside Russia to protect Ukraine, prompting potential Russian 'asymmetrical steps' worldwide.
