“Given the new evidence presented, it is clear that Cuban military personnel are operating in the occupied territories of Ukraine,” Acha said. “Tens of thousands of young Cubans killed, injured, maimed and disappeared are just a source of profit for the regime,” continued the director of the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba.

Cuban dictatorship, Russia and war
Officially, the Cuban dictatorship declared that it was opposed to Ukraine’s entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In February 2022, Russian troops invaded Ukrainian territory.
Surprised? 1. Cuban soldiers fight alongside Russian and Wagner troops in Ukraine. 2. The Cuban President “We condemn and do not accept the extension of NATO to the borders of Russia.” And 3. Cuba’s regular armed forces will train troops in Belarus. https://t.co/3CfxPZc8Av
