Cubans line up to visit Russian ships in Havana.

Dozens of Cubans were standing in long lines under the sun on the waterfront of Havana to visit the ships of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy, which arrived on Saturday in the capital of the island.

The ships opened to the public during Russian Navy Day, reported the Russian Embassy in Cuba.

Moreover, the Ministry of the Armed Forces of Cuba (Minfar) specified that the public could visit the training ship 'Smolny' this Sunday, the 28th, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Monday the 29th between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

The diplomatic office shared a message on its social media highlighting the attendance of dozens of people who came with umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun.

"Under the blazing sun of Cuba, dozens of Havanans and tourists line up to board the training ship 'Smolny' and see for themselves the naval power of Russia on Russian Navy Day."

On July 27, a detachment of ships from the Baltic Fleet arrived at the port of Havana, consisting of the training ship "Smolny", the patrol ship "Neustrashimy", and the tanker "Yelnya", marking the second trip of Russian military ships to Cuba in a month and a half.

The three ships will be in Cuba until July 30, after their sailors have completed a "program" about which little information has emerged so far.

It was on Wednesday that the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR) announced that several ships from the Baltic Fleet of Russia would arrive in Havana Bay.

The Russian presence in Cuban territorial waters comes just a few weeks after the stay of the frigate "Gorshkov," the nuclear-powered submarine "Kazan," the oil tanker of the fleet "Pashin," and the salvage tug "Nikolai Chiker."

On that occasion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the island announced in a statement that the visit was in line "with the historical friendship relations between Cuba and the Russian Federation," and that it adhered "strictly to the international regulations of which Cuba is a party."

At all times, the United States government was aware of the vessels, which generated great interest among Cubans and foreign tourists, who had the opportunity to tour the modern frigate Admiral “Gorshkov.”
