If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
Cuban Energy Minister Vincente de la O Levy announced that the country's diesel and fuel oil reserves are completely depleted, leaving the energy system on life support. He attributed the crisis to the U.S. oil embargo imposed in January. A single delivery of 730,000 barrels of oil from Russia in March has already been exhausted, and the national electrical grid is severely impacted.
