Mainstream news describe the economic situation is Cuba as extreme, see for example, this article by CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/22/americas/cuba-crisis-energy-economy-intl-latam

Is that true? How to get a realistic account of the current situation in Cuba? Is United States blockade getting worse?

Edit. Added a mainstream source and re-stated my question in a more neutral tone.

    Never trust news from a single source/political sphere, no.

      That sounds good in theory, but keep in mind that 99% of English-language news sources are liberal ones.

          There is a lot of left-leaning content available in French! They have a lot of scholars and thinkers who are openly leftists, and in Europe it will not scare anyone.

                Oh okay so it’s the same incident. I’ve been having the confusions for like a week and I was thinking “it happened twice?!”
