Russian bombers and warships are set to arrive in the Caribbean over the next few weeks as part of military exercises. These exercises will likely involve partnerships with Cuba and Venezuela. This move comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with Ukraine recently claiming to have sunk a Russian Black Sea Fleet vessel off the Crimean coast near Chornomors'ke. The vessel is believed to have been a smaller patrol boat. The presence of Russian military forces in the Caribbean, possibly near Miami, is seen as a response to actions by the United States. Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed President Biden directly in this context.
