Cuba has successfully refined its high-density and viscous crude oil for the first time in a successful experimental trial, producing marketable diesel, naphtha, and fuel, thanks to a technology based on thermoconversion, developed by the Center for Petroleum Research (CEINPET). Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel highlighted that this innovation “broke a criterion, a taboo that existed in the country, that national crude could not be refined.”

🚨 Cuba successfully refines its heavy crude and produces marketable fuels

🔴 Cuba has managed to refine its high-density and high-viscosity crude oil for the first time in a successful experimental test. The process enabled the production of diesel, naphtha, and marketable fuel, marking a milestone in the country's energy autonomy.

🔴 This breakthrough was made possible thanks to an innovative technology based on thermoconversion, developed entirely by the island's Center for Petroleum Research

CUBAN OIL WORKERS DO NOT SURRENDER.
🇨🇺| They develop technology for the use of national crude oil, shattering the myth that Cuba's high-density and viscous petroleum could not be processed using homegrown solutions.

Forty years after the Chernobyl accident, let us remember that Cuba welcomed more than 26,000 Ukrainian children who were victims of radiation, offering them free medical treatment and long-term care housing for 21 years.

In return, Ukraine's Nazi regime voted in favor of the blockade against Cuba in the most recent UN votes and withdrew its embassy from Havana

Cuba consolidated a massive and free health program that, until 2019, provided care to more than 26,000 victims of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, of which nearly 23,000 were minors.

Through the Tarará pediatric hospital, Cuban scientists and specialists implemented pioneering treatments against leukemia, thyroid cancer, and skin conditions such as vitiligo and alopecia, using local innovations based on human placenta and therapeutic vaccines.

#Video | Fidel's Meeting with the Chernobyl Children and Mothers, in Tarará 🇨🇺

💢 On the early morning of April 26, 1986, the fourth reactor of the Vladimir Lenin nuclear power plant exploded, causing the largest nuclear accident in history.

💢 The radioactive cloud reached parts of Europe, forced the evacuation of hundreds of towns, and exposed millions of people to illnesses that persist to this day.

💢 On March 29, 1990, the first flight carrying children affected by radiation landed in Cuba. The Tarará beach resort, east of Havana, was transformed into a comprehensive medical care center.

💢 For more than two decades, Cuban doctors provided free treatments, rehabilitation, and psychological support to thousands of young patients.

💢 The program continued until 2011 and became a symbol of international solidarity.

💢 For many of those children, Cuba was a space of relief and hope amid the pain and uncertainty of the catastrophe.

💢 This #26deabril, marking forty years since the nuclear disaster, we share from #AlmaPlusTv this historic moment, drawn from nostalgia, of one of the times when Cuban leader Fidel Castro met with the Chernobyl mothers and patients at the Tarará beach resort.

What the Government of Honduras doesn't say about the heroes in white coats, the Cuban doctors unjustly expelled from our country accused of espionage and other farces besides, but they don't speak of the hundreds of Hondurans operated on for free, of the thousands who recovered their sight through Operation Miracle. That they are eager to privatize healthcare and grant trust funds to the banks is another matter.

Russia Delivers Medicines to Cuba Amidst U.S. Blockade

Russia donated medicines to Cuba today, reinforcing healthcare amid the U.S. blockade and highlighting deep historical ties and solidarity between the nations.

Russia, through the San Petersburg Government, delivered on April 27 a donation of medicines to Cuba at the Russian Embassy in Havana, aimed at bolstering the island nation’s healthcare system amid the ongoing United States blockade, underscoring the deep historical ties and solidarity between both countries.

The humanitarian shipment, intended to strengthen assistance in the country’s hospitals and clinical centers, was formally handed over by Russian Ambassador Víctor Koronelli to Cuban Public Health Minister José Ángel Portal Miranda.

The Russian diplomat linked the current shortages on the Caribbean island to the impact of the intensified U.S. blockade, highlighting how it directly affects the well-being and health of the population.

Russia Against U.S. Blockade

This delivery of medical supplies occurs within a framework of close collaboration that recently included the arrival of 100,000 tons of Russian oil as solidarity aid.

Faced with the energy crisis, stemming from an Executive Order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump -which threatens to impose tariffs on goods from countries supplying oil to Cuba-, the Kremlin has reiterated its commitment to continue supporting the Caribbean nation.

Text reads: “Gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and liquefied gas, obtained from the processing of crude oil, which arrived from Russia as a humanitarian shipment on the oil rig “Anatoly Kolodkin”, are already being distributed throughout Cuba. Hurrah!”

In line with this stance, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksánder Pankin stated on Thursday, before the press that his country is willing to evaluate, if necessary, new supplies of oil and other measures of support for Cuba. At that time, Pankin highlighted Havana’s capacity for resilience, expressing the Slavic nation’s respect for the firmness demonstrated by the Cuban Government and people to subsist under sanctions and embargoes for decades.

The continuous flow of humanitarian aid and strategic resources from Russia to Cuba serves as a counterpoint to the persistent economic pressures exerted by the United States, solidifying the enduring friendship and strategic alliance between the two countries.

U.S. Senate Fails to Block Trump’s Military Action - today

The U.S. Senate today rejected a Democrat-led war powers resolution aimed at preventing unauthorized military action by the Trump administration against Cuba.



A Republican bloc vote of 51 against 47 effectively thwarted efforts to block potential White House aggression against the Caribbean island.

The resolution, championed by Democrat Senators Tim Kaine, Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego, sought to block the use of U.S. forces in “unauthorized hostilities.”

This initiative emerged amidst growing concerns and reports alleging an illegal blockade against the Caribbean nation. According to a statement released by Kaine’s office, President Donald Trump had reportedly already ordered an “illegal military blockade” against Cuba, a measure that, they assert, is generating a humanitarian crisis across the island.

The attempt to impose such a blockade without congressional authorization is viewed by many as a clear overreach of Executive Power and a direct challenge to international law, exacerbating tensions in the Caribbean region.

In January of the current year, President Trump signed an Executive Order controversially declaring Cuba an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to the national security of the U.S. This declaration effectively granted him a “letter of marque”, allowing him to announce punitive tariffs against any country that engages in the sale of oil to the largest of the Antilles.

Cuban authorities have consistently reaffirmed that Cuba poses no threat to any nation; instead, it is a country under constant threat from the U.S. and subjected to an intensified blockade spanning over six decades. The cumulative damages from this blockade are estimated to exceed $170.677 billion dollars, a figure that starkly illustrates the profound economic impact on the Cuban people and their development.

Furthermore, Cuban officials vehemently denounce that the systematic slandering of Cuba and its portrayal as a “failed state” constitute a cynical maneuver designed to legitimize potential aggression. This narrative, they argue, is part of a broader disinformation campaign aimed at undermining the Cuban Government and justifying coercive measures under the guise of humanitarian concern.

The ongoing rhetoric from Washington contrasts sharply with Cuba’s consistent calls for dialogue and respect for its sovereignty and self-determination, further polarizing the already strained bilateral relationship.

China once again calls on the U.S. to immediately stop its blockade, sanctions and any other forms of coercion and pressure on #Cuba. The U.S. will not succeed in hiding its egregious violation of Cuba’s rights by vilifying China-Cuba cooperation.

In September 1960, Fidel Castro delivered the longest speech in the history of the United Nations General Assembly: 4 hours and 29 minutes denouncing colonialism, the plundering of natural resources, and imperial arrogance.

Harassed by the United States Government, the Cuban leader stayed at the Hotel Theresa in the Harlem neighborhood, alongside the humble and excluded of New York, from where he issued a verdict that resounded across humanity: "Let the philosophy of plunder disappear, and the philosophy of war will have disappeared." That intervention, a true battle cry and a slap to imperial arrogance, ignited a flame of sovereignty that still illuminates the peoples of the Third World.

Anyone who wants to know what #Cuba is, anyone who truly wants to know us, should watch the parades and events of this #PrimeroDeMayo; should read, one by one, the 6 million 230 thousand signatures for peace, against the blockade, and against war.

Anyone who wants to know what it means for a working people to celebrate Labor Day, because they own their land and are willing to give their lives for it, must immerse themselves in the unique emotions of this historic morning.
