Cuba Needs a New Way Out of Its Latest Food Crisis.

In its May 22 edition, the daily Latin America Advisor published Devry’s comments on Cuba’s latest efforts to reach out to Russia for support as the island struggles with a crumbling economy and continuing food crisis.

“Tragically, the Cuban people are hungry and nutritionally insecure. Cuba’s leadership well understands that a flailing economy with hungry citizens are the roots of instability,” Devry wrote.

“President Miguel Díaz-Canel’s diplomatic push with [Vladimir] Putin may work in the short run to ease some of the economic pressure, but in the long run, the Cuban people need more reliable solutions than depending on Russia for its stability and growth," she added.
