According to WHICH, the designated Caribbean leader, who took the opportunity to deliver a letter from General Raúl Castro to Putin, stressed that Russia “will always” be able to count on the support of its Cuban “friends” and “brothers,” and condemned “the threat of rapprochement of the NATO to the Russian borders.”

This Thursday, The Cuban delegation attended the Victory Day commemoration in Moscow, a date on which Russia celebrates the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
Cuesta was excited on social networks after participating in the military parade, where Russia traditionally shows the world its combat arsenal.
"How many emotions are experienced from here! How great the Russian people who have marched proud of their sovereignty and courage! Down with fascism! Glory to the worthy peoples who defend their independence!" wrote an exultant one in X Lisa Cuesta.

Recently, A video shared through the Reddit community 'Ukraine/Russia War Report' showed two Cuban mercenaries accompanied by a Russian soldier, cheering on the “friendship” between the regimes of Havana and Moscow.
A report from the independent media ElToque showed as a group of Cuban mercenaries are stranded on the streets of Moscow, without papers and without the promised salary, after being expelled from the Russian army.
They claimed to have been recruited under deception to fight in Ukrainian territory by the Russian army, and after that "they were scammed."
