According to the source, Cuban “volunteers” are joining the Russian army through unofficial channels.

The total number of people involved in Russia’s war in Ukraine “is probably in the low hundreds,” the source said.

According to him, Cubans are encouraged to participate in the war through payments offered by the Russian army.

Some of them are also interested in the possibility of obtaining a Russian passport, after Russian dictator Vladimir Putin signed a decree in January allowing foreigners to become Russian citizens in exchange for military service, the source said.
