A group of ships from the Russian Navy will arrive in Havana
Between June 12 and 17, 2024, an official visit to the port of Havana will be made by a naval detachment of the Russian Federation, composed of four ships: The frigate “GORSHKOV”, the nuclear-powered submarine “KAZAN”, the fleet oil tanker “PASHIN” and the rescue tug “NIKOLAI CHIKER”.
This visit corresponds to the historical friendly relations between Cuba and the Russian Federation and strictly adheres to the international regulations of which Cuba is a State Party. None of the ships carry nuclear weapons, so their stopover in our country does not represent a threat to the region.
Visits by naval units from other countries are a historical practice of the revolutionary Government with nations that maintain relations of friendship and collaboration.
During their stay, the Russian sailors will carry out a program of activities that includes courtesy visits to the Chief of the Revolutionary War Navy and the Governor of Havana. They will also visit places of historical and cultural interest.
During its arrival at the port of Havana, 21 salvos will be fired from one of the ships of the group of ships as a greeting to the Nation, which will be reciprocated by an artillery battery of the Revolutionary Armed Forces from the San Carlos de La Cabaña Fortress.
