When asked if a New York Times report that the tanker would be allowed to reach Cuba was true, Mr. Trump said: "If a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem whether it's Russia or not."
The news media has been overtly incompetent here. As you say, it is not a blockade.
If it was a blockade, then the Russian ships would be stopped. Since it is not a blockade, only an idiot would expect the Russian ships to be stopped.
And after the media circle-jerking each other into falsely calling it a blockade, the media is surprised that the ships are not stopped by the “blockade”.
