The allegations by the U.S. that Cuba is militarily involved in the Ukraine-Russia conflict are entirely false. There is no factual proof at all. On the contrary, the Cuban MINREX statement on this issue indicates that the Cuban government had already taken steps to prevent any Cuban nationals in Cuba who had allowed themselves to become involved, even in their own name, as a personal choice, from interfering in the conflict.
The Cuban diplomat took the opportunity to thank for all the support received in the fulfillment of his mission during these almost 4 years in this friendly country and reiterated the will of his government to continue progressing in strengthening the ties that unite both nations.
Maynard, for his part, expressed his gratitude to the Ambassador for the efforts made to develop bilateral relations.
