Money has become an incentive for many across Latin America to join the ranks of Moscow and Kyiv in the Russia-Ukraine war. While many Colombian veterans have sided with Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal now has chronicled the stories of several Cubans who have ended up on the other side of the line.
The outlet reported that between 400 and 3,000 Cubans are believed to be fighting with Russia. Most of them have been lured by the salaries: they can get paid $2,000 a month, a staggering amount if compared to the average Cuban salary of $20.
