  • You implied that Cuba was sending people to fight when they denied this.

    I would take the word of Cuba over USA’s word or Kiev’s word any day.

    Ask Russia to stop? Cuba literally has no power over Russia’s decisions. They are 2 sovereign nations. Cuba is an island that is being sanction to oblivion by the USA and is barely ever to get anything that it needs for itself. It literally cannot be picky at all with whoever decides to trade with it or provide it with defense. Sounds like you just like to punch down.

    “Oh Cuba is not perfect and is trying to buy weapons from the only place that wants to sell it. Cuba should just be a perfect little victim and let the sanctions destroy it”

    And people from Cuba can emigrate anywhere. People from the USA can travel to Russia and serve the Russian army if they want to. The government is not going to ban people from traveling just because they decide to fight NATO’s proxy.


  • From the source you shared:

    In response to the reports about the U.S. cable, Cuba’s Foreign Ministry on Oct. 11 denied its involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war, alleging the U.S. was making “false accusations.”

    “It is irrefutable that none of them have the encouragement, commitment, or consent of the Cuban state for their actions,” a statement from the Foreign Ministry read, denying the country had sent soldiers to participate in the war effort.

    The information provided by HUR suggests that some Cuban nationals are tricked into travelling to Russia after being lured by the promise of lucrative construction work advertised on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.
