They were photographed by a passenger of a regular cruise liner when he went out in the morning to the deck. About it reports CNN. On June 7, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba said that Russian warships would arrive at the island between June 12 and 17. Four ships were reported.

The statement also stated that "none of the ships carries nuclear weapons", so their stop in Cuba is no threat to the region. "This visit corresponds to historical friendly relations between Cuba and the Russian Federation and strictly adheres to international norms," ​​Cuba reported. The Pentagon stated that they know that Russian warships would go to Cuba and to Venezuela for conducting naval exercises, and although they do not consider this voyage as a threat but will be monitored.

Michael Griffit, a cruise liner passenger, took a photo from the deck and noted that he had calculated six ships on the horizon. "I was surprised how close they were from the US coast," the man said.
