Russia sending second ship with oil to Cuba amid US blockade

A Russian-flagged tanker carrying about 700,000 barrels of crude docked at Cuba's Matanzas oil terminal earlier this week. Russian Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilev announced that a second ship is being loaded to be sent to Cuba, stating that Russia will not leave Cubans alone in trouble. This delivery follows a US blockade on the country, although the Trump administration granted a waiver for this humanitarian shipment.
