"We have absolutely no fuel [oil], and absolutely no diesel ... The impact of the blockade is indeed causing us significant harm... because we are still not receiving fuel."
"Cuba's power grid had entered a "critical" state. "We have absolutely no fuel [oil], and absolutely no diesel ... The impact of the blockade is indeed causing us significant harm... because we are still not receiving fuel.""
"Cuba is open to anyone that wants to sell us fuel. De la O Levy said Thursday that Cuba was continuing negotiations to import fuel despite the blockade, but added rising oil prices brought on by the Iran war are complicating matters."
"The United Nation's criticized the blockade last week, calling it unlawful and saying it obstructs the "Cuban people's right to development while undermining their rights to food, education, health, and water and sanitation.""
Cuba’s power outages worsened as Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy said oil reserves had run out and the power grid had entered a critical state. He said Cuba had absolutely no fuel oil and no diesel, and that the blockade was causing significant harm because fuel shipments were not arriving. For four months, the US blocked fuel imports to pressure the government. An executive order threatened tariffs on countries supplying Cuba with fuel, and major suppliers Venezuela and Mexico stopped sending fuel. Cuba received only one delivery since December from a Russian-flagged tanker in April. Cuba continued negotiations to import fuel, but rising oil prices tied to the Iran war complicated efforts. Rolling blackouts and protests followed amid shortages.
