The detachment is scheduled to arrive in the port of Havana on June 12 and will remain near Cuba until June 17. The agency emphasized that none of the ships carry nuclear weapons, so their stay does not pose a threat to the region.

US Republican Senator Marco Rubio called on the Joe Biden administration to take action against Cuba on social media.
There hasn't been a Russian nuclear-missile submarine in the Caribbean in over 30 years. Therefore, if Cuba allows them to enter a port just 90 miles from our shores, there must be consequences from the Biden administration.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the corvette "Gremyashchiy" conducted air defense exercises in Kamchatka. The corvette's air defense crews detected a low-flying target. It was identified as a drone and then destroyed.
