Moscow plans to send 2nd oil tanker to Cuba, Russian energy minister says

Russia plans to send a second oil tanker to Cuba, according to Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilyov. The announcement on Thursday comes just two days after the Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin docked at the Cuban port of Matanzas with 730,000 barrels of oil. Tsivilyov spoke at an energy forum in Kazan, Russia, emphasizing Cuba's isolation. He said that a Russian vessel broke through the blockade and that a second one is being loaded. Cuba produces barely 40% of its required fuel and relies on imports to sustain its energy grid.
