Cuba Faces Escalating Energy Crisis as Russian Oil Supplies Dwindle

Cuba's energy crisis is set to worsen as the donated Russian oil reserves have been depleted, according to Vicente de la O Levy, the country's Minister of Energy and Mines. The island is experiencing severe energy shortages, with daily blackouts lasting up to 22 hours, particularly during the hot summer months when demand peaks. Protests have erupted in response to the prolonged outages, with citizens expressing frustration over insufficient electricity for basic needs.
