Cuban exiles and former U.S. intelligence officers lashed out against the Havana regime this week, dismissing its claims it is looking into “human trafficking operations for military recruitment purposes” in Russia. The Cuban communist regime made the claims after independent media reported that Russia had sent at least 200 Cuban youths to fight in Ukraine.
The exiles’ response came shortly after the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Minrex) released a statement on Monday, asserting that there are human trafficking groups in Russia targeting Cubans living there and on the island, forcing them to support the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.
