"We were aware of their presence because, in accordance with the procedures that we have followed for years, the United States informed us in advance. But obviously we do not like the presence on our territory and the transit through our waters of vessels of this kind belonging to a power that is conducting an official and practical hostile policy towards Cuba,” Fernandez said, as quoted by Cubadebate. The Russian Northern Fleet's naval strike force, which includes the nuclear-powered Yasen-class Kazan cruise missile submarine, the Admiral Gorshkov frigate, the Akademik Pashin supply tanker and the Nikolai Chiker rescue tug, entered the port of Havana on Wednesday as part of a long voyage. The official visit of the Russian delegation under the command of Vice Adm. Mikhail Neupokoyev will last from June 12 to 17. US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said Wednesday the USS fast attack submarine Helena made a pre-planned deployment to the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The deployment followed the Russian naval force's arrival in Cuba for naval exercises. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Wednesday that Washington has seen such visits before and expects to see them again in the future. US officials previously noted that the Russian naval deployment to Cuba does not pose a threat to the United States.
