US to allow Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin to deliver oil to Cuba, official says

The United States will allow the Russian oil tanker Anatoly Kolodkin to deliver crude to Cuba. The ship is expected to discharge at the Matanzas port. The delivery follows three months without Cuban fuel imports and comes after Russian officials publicly offered support. The decision gives Cuba an immediate energy lifeline and complicates U.S. sanctions enforcement and relations with Russia.
