Russian President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed Moscow’s unwavering support for Cuba during a meeting with Havana’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez in the Russian capital. Rodriguez visited Russia seeking assistance as Cuba faces severe challenges due to US-imposed sanctions, particularly a fuel crisis exacerbated by an effective oil embargo imposed by the US government. President Donald Trump’s decision to halt the supply of Venezuelan oil to Cuba following the political events in Venezuela has further strained the situation. Putin emphasized Russia’s historical alliance with Cuba, expressing solidarity with the island nation’s pursuit of independence and sovereignty. The meeting between Putin and Rodriguez took place at the Kremlin in Moscow.
