Cuban car owners suffer Russia's war sanctions

Car owners in Cuba are facing serious problem due to global restrictions on transport and trade with Russia.Much of the island's fleets of trucks, buses, cars and tractors came from Russia and are now aging, in need of parts.And much like Russian tourists, those parts are no longer arriving.Cuban statistics indicate the island has about 20,000 old American cars and 80,000 to 100,000 Russian-made Ladas.Along with disruption of the key tourism industry and financial transactions with Russia, "the interruption of transportation is going to be a problem for Cuba in terms of spare parts," an expert on Cuba at the American University in Washington, D.C. said.
