The Ambassador explained that the majority of the countries that make up the Assembly, 165 of the 193 member states, supported Cuba in this latest battle, which has been ongoing for 33 years. Despite the media campaign against Cuba, alleging false accusations such as the existence of mercenaries sent by the Cuban government to the war between Russia and Ukraine, Cuba received 85% of the votes in favor.
