Russia To Send Oil To Cuba Amid US-Imposed Blockade
Russia is preparing to rush urgently needed oil to Cuba under what officials describe as a "humanitarian" arrangement, according to a report Thursday by the pro-government newspaper Izvestia.

"On Russia, we're finally really seeing a logistical problem," Nadia Martin Wiggen, Director at Svelland Capital says in a Bloomberg Television interview. "We could increasingly start to lose 100,000 barrels per day, up to 600,000 per day because of logistical problems. It's not a production problem, it's where to put the sanctioned oil."
