Russian warships arrived on Wednesday, June 12, in Cuban waters for a diplomatic visit and demonstration of the friendship between both nations. Along the way, in Atlantic waters, the Russian fleet conducted military exercises in international waters. This situation, amid tensions between the US and Russia over the war in Ukraine, has generated speculation in the international community. Below are the keys to this visit and what is known so far.
Cuba received a visit last Wednesday, June 12: three Russian warships and a submarine. A sign of the strengthening of relations between the two countries, which have historically been allies.
“It corresponds to the historical friendly relations and these joint exercises (which occurred in Atlantic waters) occur within the framework of international cooperation,” both countries noted.
However, being only 145 kilometers from US territoryWashington has its sights set on this fleet at a time of tension between the North American power and Moscow due to the war in Ukraine.
In late May, the US authorized Kiev to use weapons on Russian territory near the border with its country, a red line for Russia. Therefore, any action by the sides is delicate at this time.
