Cuba reiterates its rejection of United States attempts to involve it in the conflict in Ukraine
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba reiterates its absolute rejection of the false accusations that the United States government—devoid of any basis or evidence—continues to disseminate regarding alleged Cuban participation in the military conflict in Ukraine, with the aim of confusing and misinforming the international community.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs categorically reaffirms that Cuba is not a party to this conflict, nor does it have military personnel participating there or in any other country.

Message from the Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, via his X account:
"The U.S. Secretary of State, nervous and anxious in the face of yet another defeat at the United Nations, is pressuring and blackmailing Heads of State and Government from various countries to change their votes against the blockade at the UN General Assembly.
Through his repeated lies and new actions, he attempts to obscure the act of collective punishment he is inflicting upon the Cuban people, and to make the rest of the international community complicit in this barbarity.
Statement by the Saint Lucia-Cuba Friendship Association marking the 50th anniversary of the Barbados bombing, and opposing the blockade and Cuba's inclusion on the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism
We recall the Barbados bombing with sorrow and solidarity. On October 6, 1976, a bomb destroyed a Cubana de Aviación aircraft in mid-flight, claiming the lives of 73 innocent people, including 24 young athletes from Cuba’s national fencing team who were returning after proudly competing for their country. This act of terrorism—one of the most heinous committed in the Caribbean—stands as irrefutable proof that Cuba has been a victim of terrorism, not a sponsor of it.
The Saint Lucia–Cuba Friendship Association, declare the following:
We reject Cuba’s inclusion on the List of State Sponsors of Terrorism. We reiterate that Cuba poses no threat to any country in the world. Its people have been victims of terrorist acts, sabotage, biological attacks, and an economic blockade that has lasted for more than six decades. Cuba’s inclusion on that list is a political act—unjust and lacking legal basis—that contradicts historical truth and exacerbates the suffering of the Cuban people.
