flag Ukraine closes Havana embassy, blames Cuba for letting citizens join Russian forces in Ukraine.

flag Ukraine is closing its embassy in Havana and downgrading diplomatic ties with Cuba, citing Havana’s failure to prevent Cuban citizens from joining Russian forces in Ukraine. flag Ukrainian officials allege thousands of Cubans have been recruited through deceptive job offers, trained in Russia, and deployed to combat zones, with Ukrainian intelligence reporting at least 1,076 involved. flag The move follows Cuba’s support for a UN resolution opposing the U.S. embargo on Cuba and growing concerns over Cuba’s role in aiding Russia’s war effort, including sanctions evasion and intelligence cooperation. flag The U.S. estimates 1,000 to 5,000 Cubans have fought for Russia, though Cuba denies the claims.
