Russia plans to send a second oil tanker to Cuba, according to Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilyov.

A Russian oil tanker has reached Cuba with a huge shipment, easing a dire fuel shortage after months without deliveries.

Cuba is preparing to receive a sanctioned Russian oil tanker as the island struggles under a U.S. oil blockade.

Cuba is preparing to receive its first shipment of Russian oil this year, just days after the government announced it was operating on natural gas, solar power and thermoelectric plants as severe power outages continue to hit an island whose power grid is crumbling.
