      Submission Statement: The Russian government is preparing to evacuate approximately 4,000 tourists from Cuba due to a severe fuel shortage impacting the island’s aviation sector. Two major Russian airlines, Rossiya and Nordwind, have announced they will operate outbound-only flights to return citizens home before suspending regular services. This development follows warnings from Cuban authorities that jet fuel supplies at nine international airports have been depleted, making refueling for return journeys impossible for many foreign carriers.

      The current energy crisis in Cuba has intensified following an oil blockade initiated by the United States administration. Consequently, the island is experiencing widespread power outages and significant disruptions to public transportation, forcing some tourists to relocate to different accommodations with more stable electricity.

      Moscow has described the situation as critical and stated its intent to provide support to its longtime ally through diplomatic channels. While Russian officials have expressed solidarity with the Cuban government, the ongoing focus on the conflict in Ukraine and sensitive negotiations with Washington may limit the scope of further intervention.

      Isn’t the oil problem because of Venezuela? Why can’t can’t Russia supply it — oh wait, it’s a kleptocracy with a guy in charge who is killing his nation’s young men in Ukraine

      Cool. You can always spot the Russians at the pool bar in Cuba – they sit there all day and never have to go take a leak, for some reason…

      This sounds awfully a lot like what happened right before the US had that operation in Venezuela.

      What if they don’t want to leave? Avoid windows, stairs, and Polonium cocktails???

      Russia has to evac Cuba using aircraft barely airworthy, to deliver able body „volunteers“, right to the front lines.

      How the mighty, have fallen. By the way, don’t bother locking up or turning out the lights. We’ll be right behind you.

      #Evacuate?

      I think force conscription from beyond to the meat grinder is more apt.

      Maybe Russia can trade oil for a few million Cuban soldiers for the meat grinder in Ukraine?

      I’m surprised Russia has the resources to do this considering all they have on their plates right now.

      Kind of weird to think that Russians have almost a completely different set of destination options for international travel. You dont hear of many Americans vacationing in Cuba.
