Russian flotilla with nuclear-powered submarine arrives in Havana, under Washington’s scrutiny

An announced flotilla of the Russian Navy, which includes a modern frigate and a nuclear-powered submarine, docked this Wednesday, June 12, in the Cuban capital. A visit that has generated great expectations, amid growing tensions between Moscow and Washington over the war in Ukraine. The US Department of Defense said it is following this movement closely. Although the Cuban Government and the Kremlin stressed that this action does not represent a threat, it is widely seen as a demonstration of force, just days after the United States authorized the Kiev Army to use its weapons to strike in Russian territory, which unleashed the wrath of President Vladimir Putin, who warned that he could arm the “enemies” of the first power.
