Russia Enlists Cuban Citizens for Ukraine Front Lines
Ukrainian intelligence reports reveal that approximately 20,000 Cuban soldiers have been deployed to fight in Ukraine since 2022, constituting the largest Cuban foreign military intervention since the Angolan War. These soldiers, many lured by false promises of high salaries and Russian citizenship, are primarily recruited through deceptive means, often under the guise of construction work. Ukrainian officials assert that the Cuban government actively facilitates this mercenary recruitment, evidenced by the high number of soldiers from Cuba’s military apparatus participating and the failure to repatriate captured soldiers. The high casualty rate and broken promises to Cuban mercenaries underscore the perilous nature of this situation.
