[Regnum] The visit of a group of ships of the Russian Navy to Cuba, as well as Russian exercises in different regions of the world, is a normal practice, and therefore there is no reason for concern. Press Secretary of the Head of State Dmitry Peskov announced this at a briefing on June 13. “Carrying out such visits is also a common practice,” he said. The Kremlin spokesman noted that military exercises in various regions are normal practice for all countries and especially for such a large maritime power as Russia. “Therefore, we do not see any cause for concern [for other states] in this case,” Peskov added. As reported by IA Regnum, earlier on June 13, ABC News reported that the Pentagon was trying to downplay the significance of the arrival of Russian ships in Havana. The channel's correspondent also recalled that earlier Russian Navy ships conducted exercises in the Atlantic Ocean with simulating launches of high-precision missiles with a range of more than 600 km. The American Thinker wrote on June 11 that Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a signal to US President Joe Biden by sending ships to Cuba. The author of the article also called this another example of the unsuccessful foreign policy of the current head of the White House. Assistant to the US President for National Security Jake Sullivan said on June 12 that Washington is monitoring Russian ships arriving in Cuba. At the same time, he recalled that Russia has conducted naval exercises under different US presidents and will likely continue to do so. FFG "Admiral Gorshkov", SSGN "Kazan", the tanker "Akademik Pashin" and the rescue tug vessel "Nikolai Chiker" entered the port of Havana on June 12.

ABC News reported this on June 13. The TV channel's correspondent recalled that earlier Russian Navy ships had already conducted maneuvers in the Atlantic Ocean simulating launches of high-precision missiles. “Although Russian ships regularly call at the port of Havana, these exercises are an outright provocation, the significance of which the Pentagon is trying to downplay,” he said. The journalist noted that this visit took place after the current American administration expanded sanctions against Russia. He also pointed out that earlier President Vladimir Putin announced Moscow’s right to supply weapons to regions from where they could deliver sensitive blows to countries transferring weapons to Kiev, after Washington allowed Kiev to fire American weapons throughout Russia. According to the correspondent, US and Canadian warships are monitoring the Russian Navy group, which is due to head to Venezuela in a few days.
