  "textContent": "In an interview with Pravda.Ru, Victor Kheifets, Director of the Center for Ibero-American Studies at St. Petersburg State University and Editor-in-Chief of Latin America magazine, explains the current situation in Cuba, including the fuel crisis, potential Russian assistance, BRICS' position, and the likelihood of Havana negotiating with the US amid economic collapse.\nRussia and Assistance to Cuba: Why the Secrecy?\n\nQ: Last week, President Vladimir Putin met with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez and said Russia understands Cuba's situation due to US pressure and the fuel blockade, promising all kinds of support, including economic. But there are no details in the press. What, in your view, could Russia do?\nA: What Russia specifically intends to do is a question for the President, since details are not disclosed. I can say that Cuba primarily needs oil and petroleum products. The country requires around 70-100 thousand barrels of oil per day, while domestic production provides at best about 40 thousand barrels.",
