Overview
- In Moscow, Sergei Lavrov and later Vladimir Putin expressed full solidarity and promised continued support, yet announced no specific fuel shipments.
- Spain said it will send food and essential medical supplies via UN channels, after Mexico delivered roughly 800 tonnes of aid by navy ships last week.
- President Donald Trump said a US military operation against Havana is not necessary, even as his administration enforces an oil cutoff and threatens tariffs on third‑country suppliers.
- Havana's emergency measures now include mandatory Ticket app appointments for fuel, a 20‑liter limit per visit and the suspension of subsidized peso sales in favor of dollar‑priced fuel.
- The fuel shortfall is crippling services, with garbage trucks sidelined, frequent power outages, curtailed transport and UN warnings about risks to water systems and hospitals.
