Russian airline Aeroflot is initiating the repatriation of approximately 4,800 Russian citizens stranded in Cuba due to a severe fuel crisis affecting the island nation. Flights from Varadero to Moscow are scheduled for February 12, 14, 17, 19, and 21, with an additional Havana to Moscow flight planned for February 16. Aeroflot has announced the cancellation of all subsequent flights on these routes starting February 24. The Russian Embassy in Cuba is actively collaborating with Aeroflot and Cuban aviation authorities to ensure the smooth return of its nationals. The fuel shortage in Cuba is attributed to U.S. pressure on oil-exporting countries.
