“The Ministry of the Interior…is working on the neutralization and dismantling of a human trafficking network that operates 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 government statement said.
The Russian government has not commented on the allegations.
Russian citizenship you say? It’s very easy and we never loose you say? Really low chance of dying you say? Sign me up!
arrives at front line
Shit. I’m gonna die ain’t I? Shouldn’t have trusted Russian media.
The weird thing here is that Russian and Cuban propaganda machines are very close together. Like, this is enabled due to the historical political ties of the two countries and the propaganda misinformation entrenched into the Cuban society. Which is allowed and encouraged by the Cuban government. Main reason there are many Cuban nationals living in Russia in the first place. So, the Cuban government reacting to this is, strange and out of character, for once acting in favor of their citizens in a West vs. East scenario is new.
That’s disturbing.
And they’re "not even desperate"yet
Utterly horrifying to see the hardworking socialists in Cuba get exploited by cold-blooded authoritarian imperialist Russia. Hopefully the Cubans can be repatriated, but for some reason I can visualize Putin not playing a fair game with it.
