What pushes Russia and Cuba towards each other? - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
On this episode of Eastern Express, we focus on Russia and Cuba drawing closer once again, with Moscow stepping in to supply oil as the island faces a deepening energy crisis. The shipments, described as humanitarian, are also raising tensions as they test U.S. sanctions and influence in the region. So what does Russia really want from Havana and what does this renewed partnership mean for the balance of power? To discuss, the show was joined by Sergei Erofeev, Sociologist at Rutgers University.
