"Cuba is our closest friend and partner in the Caribbean, and we don't have the right to abandon it. Assistance to Cuba will continue, Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at a weekly briefing on Wednesday."
"Cuba has been suffering from an energy crisis since January, when US forces abducted Venezuelan President and Cuban ally Nicolas Maduro. His removal deprived Cuba of one of its main oil suppliers."
"Our gratitude to the Government and People of Russia for all the support we are receiving. A valuable shipment that arrives amidst the complex energy situation we are facing, de la O Levy wrote on social media."
Maria Zakharova emphasized Russia's commitment to assist Cuba, highlighting the arrival of a Russian tanker with crude oil after a three-month gap. The US energy blockade has severely impacted Cuba, leading to an energy crisis and frequent blackouts. Zakharova condemned the blockade, asserting Cuba's sovereignty and independence. The arrival of the oil shipment was celebrated by Cuban officials, who expressed gratitude for Russian support during these challenging times. The historical ties between Russia and Cuba remain strong despite US opposition.
