US will allow Russian oil tanker to reach Cuba

The US will not intercept a Russian oil tanker destined for Cuba, despite Washington's energy blockade of the island. According to US media, the vessel is carrying nearly 730,000 barrels of oil. The vessel is expected to reach the island on March 31.

Trump does not object to the oil deliveries, as one tanker does not have a global impact but will help the population.

Analysts emphasize that the arrival of the Russian oil tanker will delay the depletion of Cuba's oil reserves by several weeks and will also relieve pressure on the island from Washington.
