home from joint exercises with the Venezuelan navy.

It is the latest sign of improved ties between Moscow and communist-run Cuba,
which were allies during Soviet days.
這是最新的一個跡象顯示莫斯科與古巴關係的改善．
Correspondents say it is also a reflection of strained relations between
Moscow and Washington.

Russia has been angered by US plans for a missile defence system in Europe,
and its support for Georgia in the recent conflict with Russia.

Correspondents at the scene say the destroyer Admiral Chabanenko released
black plumes of smoke as it sailed into Havana Bay at 1000 local time (1500
GMT), flanked by the two smaller boats.
在兩艘船隻護航下，Admiral Chabanenko在當地時間上午10點昇煙航入哈瓦那灣．

Cabana, followed by a ceremony with music, presided over by officers of the
Cuban navy.

The Russian embassy in Cuba told the AFP news agency that the ships were on a
friendly, working visit designed to "develop" relations and "co-operation"
between the two countries.

Panama said the canal is "open to all the world's ships" and the Russian
vessel's passage had no political significance.
巴拿馬說，運河開放給全世界任何的船隻，俄國軍艦通行沒有代表什麼政治上的意義．
But analysts say Moscow is sending a symbolic message to the US about the
consequences of Washington's activity in regions that Russia regards as its
sphere of influence.
但是觀察家說，俄國是針對美國在他勢力範圍內的舉動而釋出一個象徵性的訊息．

but relations have weakened since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991
古巴在冷戰時期與莫斯科是緊密的盟友，但是在1991年蘇聯瓦解後，兩國關係就冷淡了.
