Russia is deploying aircraft and naval vessels including a nuke submarine to the Caribbean to conduct military exercises in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Russian military ships have sortied into the Western Hemisphere as recently as 2020, but this deployment would be the first coordinated air and sea exercise since 2019.<\/p>\n

Russian warships will arrive in Havana next week, say Cuban officials citing \u2018friendly relations\u2019<\/h3>\n

HAVANA (AP) \u2014 Four Russian ships, including a nuclear-powered submarine, will arrive in Havana next week, Cuban officials said Thursday, citing \u201chistorically friendly relations\u201d between both nations and as tensions escalate over Western military support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.<\/p>\n

Cuba\u2019s foreign ministry said in a news release that the ships will be in Havana between June 12 and June 17, noting that none of them will carry any nuclear weapons and assuring their presence \u201cdoes not represent a threat to the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement came a day after U.S. officials said that Washington had been tracking Russian warships and aircraft that were expected to arrive in the Caribbean for a military exercise. They said the exercise would be part of a broader Russian response to the U.S. support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The officials said that the Russian military presence was notable but not concerning. However, it\u2019s taking place as Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Moscow could take \u201casymmetrical steps\u201d elsewhere in the world in response to President Joe Biden\u2019s decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-provided weapons to strike inside Russia to protect Kharkiv, Ukraine\u2019s second-largest city.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Vlad is trailing his coattails* right off of our coast again. One of the unconcerning items Admiral Gorshkov<\/em> brings is the SSN-33 Zircon nuclear-capable maneuvering anti-ship hypersonic cruise missile with claimed ranges of up to 1000 km and speeds of Mach 9. I am filled with confidence in the Biden Administration’s ability to swiftly and effectively counter this transgression.<\/p>\n
