“The Cuban government has exposed a Russian trafficking operation used to lure Cubans into the war against Ukraine, Cuban authorities announced Monday. ‘The Ministry of the Interior has detected and is working to neutralize and dismantle a human trafficking network operating from Russia to incorporate Cuban citizens living there, and even some from Cuba, into the military forces participating in war operations in Ukraine,’ the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Monday. The authorities are taking legal actions against the traffickers, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday. Cuba condemned the recruitment racket, underlining that the country is ‘not part of the war conflict in Ukraine,’ and that it does not want to look ‘complicit in these actions.'” (09/05/23)
