Russian Combat Vessels to Arrive in Cuba to Project "Global Power" | Firstpost America

Cuba's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said that it is awaiting the arrival of Russian combat vessels, including a nuclear-powered submarine, next week. The vessels, including frigate Gorshkov, the nuclear-powered submarine Kazan, the fleet oil tanker Pashin, and the rescue tug Nikolai Chiker, will be docked in Havana between June 12 and June 17. Cuba has been a key ally of Russia for decades. The announcement comes a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin said he could arm other nations with weapons to attack Western countries after US President Joe Biden allowed Ukraine to strike inside Russia with American weapons.
