What is going on in Cuba? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Being completely honest, I'm tired of hearing about Ground News. Maybe I do want to hear about what liberals think of an issue. But I'm put off by the need to rub right-wing news in my face just to satisfy some fetish for being "centrist".
