Severe energy crisis in Cuba: Fuel reserves have completely run out
Cuba is facing a worsening energy collapse, after the country's Minister of Energy, Vicente de la O Levy, confirmed that national fuel reserves have completely run out. According to reports by آخرین خبر and اسپوتنیک افغانستان, the country has not received regular fuel shipments since last December.
The minister noted that a single aid shipment from Russia, amounting to approximately 100,000 tons of oil, arrived after four months of waiting. According to the minister's words as published by اسپوتنیک افغانستان, this supply managed to temporarily alleviate the severity of power outages in the country, but was entirely depleted by the beginning of May.
The Cuban government, which identifies with a distinctly anti-American stance, accuses the United States of imposing an "energy blockade" in order to "strangle the Cuban economy and make living conditions for the people unbearable." This report appeared extensively on آخرین خبر, a channel that often highlights narratives of resistance to Western policies.
The current situation marks a significant deterioration in Cuba's infrastructure crisis, as the lack of regular external supply leaves the local energy sector unable to meet the basic needs of the population.
