i wonder if they're the only ones who are helping
the mexicans are hamstrung by the americans and every time they try; they get slapped down like the pemex application denial episode from last year when they tried to help cuba.
Hamstrung or not, the delivery in that article is 70,000 tonnes of fuel. That's almost as much as the Russian delivery in the article.
hamstrung in how they way that they can offer it; the americans are coming down hard on the mexicans whenever they try to help and i think that the russians are one of the few countries that can do it since the americans would have to further deplete their arsenal of leverages to sanction them further for it.

— Two ways: gradually, and then suddenly.
Is China getting involved here?
They've donated solar to jump start how obvious the transition is needed for Cuba. Cuba is being slow on this, afaiu. Despite massive employment and economic boost it can provide. Diesel generators has always been the most expensive energy possible.
2 more hurricanes projected to hit Cuba in next 2 weeks.
Those people need a shitload of solar panels.
