Do you have any idea as to what kind of support Cuba still get from Russia.... and if any such support has stayed constant during Russian's incursion into Ukraine?
Very little. Russian exports to Cuba collapsed with the sanctions imposed because of their Ukrainian venture, falling from some 600,000 tonnes before the war to about 100,000 tonnes in 2024. That's what led to the major energy crises and blackouts Cuba has been facing in the last 18 months. When Venezuela and Mexico were able to fill in that gap, Cuba was able to limp along - but any interruption from Mexico (due to supply constraints) or Venezuela (due to sanctions/interdictions) was catastrophic.
