The Russian Admiral Chabanenko destroyer arrives at Havana's harbor, on December 19, 2008. A group of Russian warships arrived in Cuba on Friday, the first such visit to the Soviet-era ally since the end of the Cold War, an AFP journalist reported. Part of a tour of Latin America, the five-day visit close to US waters is seen as a response to Washington's own moves in areas Russia deems within its sphere of influence, including in the Black Sea.
