Two Russian tankers carrying hundreds of thousands of barrels-worth of oil are heading to Cuba in defiance of Washington’s energy blockade against the island nation.

According to multiple reports and tanker-tracking data, the Sea Horse and the Anatoly Kolodkin are heading to Cuba with 930,000 barrels of gas and oil combined.

The Anatoly Kolodkin, owned by Russian state shipping firm Sovcomflot, is set to unload at Matanzas Oil Terminal north of Cuba on 23 March, according to Kpler.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry stated on 18 March that it was ready to “provide Cuba with the necessary support, including material support.”
