Despite power returning to Cuba, blackouts are still a regular occurrence

Cuba continues to grapple with frequent blackouts despite the restoration of power supply, causing significant disruptions for its population and economy. The country's fuel production is only about 40% of what it needs, compounded by US sanctions that hinder fuel imports. Even a recent Russian shipment of 730,000 barrels of oil, delivered in March, was exhausted by the end of April, highlighting the ongoing energy crisis. These blackouts underscore the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions and international support to alleviate the country's power struggles.
