Russia and Cuba: Energy and Military Ties
The article discusses Moscow's plan to reorganize its military presence along the Syrian coast. Civilian facilities such as Hmeimim Airport and the Tartus Port are set to be converted into civilian administration, while military functions will shift from bases to training centers according to memoranda of understanding with Damascus, with a three-month deadline for implementation. Simultaneously, reports are circulating about the possibility of expanding Russia's presence in Cuba in exchange for Moscow's support for the energy sector there, which is suffering from significant electricity outages. This support could include projects to build nuclear and thermal power plants, with investments possibly reaching up to one billion dollars by 2030, despite financial difficulties. This potential expansion in Cuba is considered strategic, especially if it progresses to a permanent military presence or the deployment of missiles, which could recreate Cold War tensions and threaten U.S. security calculations, although there are no official indications of such developments at this time.
