This visit, lasting five days, \u200bfeatured ceremonial firings and coincided with escalating U.S.-Russia tensions\u2062 largely\u200c due to the conflict in Ukraine,\u2064 where the U.S. has significantly increased its military aid to\u200b Ukraine. During \u200cthe visit,\u200d the\u200c Gorshkov was open\u2063 to \u2064Cuban public tours, and although the U.S.\u2062 does not believe the \u2064frigate carried nuclear weapons, the demonstration underscored the close ties between\u200b Moscow and\u2064 Havana. This event\u200c follows a recent U.S.\u200d policy adjustment\u2064 that\u200c allows Ukraine more freedom to use American-supplied weapons \u200cagainst Russian forces.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A group of Russian Navy vessels arrived in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/cuba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cuba<\/a> on Wednesday, a show of force by Moscow amid increasing tensions between the U.S. and Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The vessels \u2013 the Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov, nuclear-powered submarine Kazan, a rescue tug, and an oil tanker \u2013 entered Havana harbor with ceremonial firing from the Gorshkov and an 18th century colonial fort.
