“Russia is a close ally of Havana and has criticised Washington for blocking fuel deliveries to the island”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
No evidence found in Wikipedia or other sources to confirm Russia's alliance status with Cuba or specific criticisms of U.S. fuel blockades.
“The shipment of oil would be the first to Havana since January, when U.S. forces abducted Venezuelan President and Cuban ally Nicolas Maduro in a raid”
