Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Government of the Republic of Cuba rejects the mendacious allegations being spread by the United States Government concerning an alleged involvement of Cuba in the military conflict in Ukraine. This is a slanderous accusation first launched in 2023 by certain media outlets without offering any evidence or substantiation of any kind, and clearly serving an assigned purpose.
Dear members of the Austria-Cuba Friendship Association, friends of Cuba:
We thank you all for your presence at this tribute to Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz. It is an honor that this event is being held before the start of the Association's General Assembly, thus recalling the values of solidarity and cooperation among peoples that Fidel so strongly defended.
