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.
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.

Mr. President,

Statement by the Revolutionary Government
The U.S. determination to continue NATO’s progressive expansion towards the Russian Federation borders has brought about a scenario with implications of unpredictable scope, which could have been avoided.
United States’ and NATO’s military moves towards regions adjacent to the Russian Federation in recent months, preceded by the delivery of modern weapons to Ukraine, which together conform a military siege, are well known.

The efforts made by the United States to impose the progressive expansion of NATO towards the borders of the Russian Federation are a threat against the national security of this country and regional and international peace.
