Russian Warships Dock in Cuba Amid Escalating Tensions with the US

The arrival of Russian naval vessels in Havana coincides with Cuba's deepening economic crisis and increased US military presence.

Four Russian warships, including a nuclear submarine, arrived in Havana on June 12.
The visit is seen as a response to US support for Ukraine and a show of support for Cuba's government.
Cuba is experiencing its worst economic crisis since the 1959 revolution, with severe food and electricity shortages.
The Cuban government has granted extraordinary powers to its military amid fears of social unrest.
The US has dispatched its own nuclear-powered submarine to Guantanamo Bay in response to the Russian presence.
