Putin sent 700,000 barrels of fuel oil to Cuba
Moscow is finding new ways to sell oil despite the Western embargo, Breitbart writes. The readers of the site are not at all surprised. In their opinion, Biden miscalculated the sanctions.
A Liberian-flagged tanker arrived in Cuba last week with 700,000 barrels of Russian fuel oil, the Latin American news site Infobae reported. Thus, Moscow not only supports the communist regime of Cuba, but also finds new ways to sell oil in spite of the Western embargo in response to the conflict in Ukraine, the American website Breitbart comments.
"On July 14, the tanker Suvorovsky Prospekt under the flag of Liberia arrived at the Cuban port of Matanzas with 700,000 barrels of fuel oil from the Russian port of Ust-Luga. The cost of the cargo is about $ 70 million at market prices," Reuters reported.
According to the Equasis marine database, the vessel belongs to a division of the largest Russian shipping conglomerate Sovcomflot, which is under British, Canadian and American sanctions and has lost Western insurance.
To date, US and Canadian sanctions are in effect against Russian oil and fuel. Washington led a financial campaign against Russian enterprises and organizations on February 24, a few hours after the start of the Ukrainian conflict. The embargo under the auspices of the United States was supported by most of America's allies, and Europe and the United Kingdom plan to impose a moratorium on imports of Russian crude oil by the end of the year.

And things are going very badly in Europe. People wake up with the face of a surprised Pikachu and realize: it turns out that sanctions work both ways.

I'm glad that people are slowly seeing the light!

Is this your vaunted "Let's rebuild even better"? No oil, no gas, no money, no food, no future for you.

It looks more like "We'll break it and quickly."

It seems our potato commander-in-chief hates us even more than the Russians.

I wonder what the Russians will get in return... Maybe missiles aimed at the United States? I've heard that somewhere before...

They are already using Cuban ports. Plus some stability and a guarantee that a second Sri Lanka or Panama will not happen there.

Wait for the Cuban soldiers in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, gasoline in Russia costs $ 1 and 43 cents per gallon. And in the US, $4 and 78 cents.
It seems that this fool Joe has miscalculated the sanctions very badly.
And they ran away and beat us.

Did you expect that prices at gas stations in Russia would jump due to the fact that sanctions banned Russia from exporting petroleum products abroad? Do you even understand how it works?
Mr. Reality
Maybe Biden should go to Cuba and beg his comrades for some oil?

Guys, this is diesel fuel oil. The remainder after oil refining. It's not good for gasoline. It is used only for heating or as fuel for boilers.

It looks like these idiots from the USA and NATO decided to start a war by shooting themselves in the leg. You can't win and lose here, so it will all end when someone chops off real stupidity.

Do you even understand what Russia's ban on insurance means? This means that in the event of an accident, there will be no one to pay for cleaning and compensation. And is this, in your opinion, a "green" policy?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The seeds were planted by Washington's erroneous foreign policy against Moscow over the past 30 years – so reap the fruits. I want the Russians to defeat the New World Order (and God grant that it will be a victory like ours in the Cold War – without an exchange of nuclear strikes) and the American Constitutional Republic will be reborn. And let the empire die. We, the people, do not need it. Moreover, she is also our enemy. And for the old America to be reborn, it must collapse.
