Russia continues to work on providing assistance to Cuba, which is facing fuel shortages caused by the US energy blockade. This was announced on February 22 by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak in an interview with Vesti journalist Pavel Zarubin.

"We are helping, work is underway in this direction, but I would not like to disclose the details now," Novak said.
