"The tanker carrying 730,000 barrels of crude oil is sanctioned by the US, the EU and the UK amid the war in Ukraine, providing a small relief to Cuba."
"Cuba's Energy and Mines Minister Vicente de la O Levy expressed gratitude for the shipment, stating it arrives amidst a complex energy situation and severe shortages."
"Experts estimate the shipment could produce some 180,000 barrels of diesel, which would sustain daily demand in Cuba for nine days."
A Russian oil tanker, the Anatoly Kolodkin, delivered 730,000 barrels of crude oil to Cuba, marking the first shipment since increased US sanctions. This delivery comes as Cuba faces severe shortages exacerbated by a total oil blockade initiated by the Trump administration. Despite the tanker being under sanctions from the US, EU, and UK due to the Ukraine war, the White House allowed its entry for humanitarian reasons. Cuban officials expressed gratitude for the shipment, which is expected to help alleviate the country's energy crisis.
