🇺🇦❌🇨🇺 — Ukraine closes its embassy in Cuba after accusing the regime of indifference to the mass recruitment of Cubans by the Russian army, according to Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.

💥 Sybiha stated that Havana’s silence makes it complicit in Russian aggression, recalling that Díaz-Canel publicly wished “success” to Putin in the war.

Today, Ukraine voted against the UNGA resolution on the “Necessity of ending U.S. embargo against Cuba”.

This move is not sudden. And it has serious reasons.

We remember Cuban President’s wish of “success” to Putin in his war of aggression against Ukraine. We heard it well.

This year, we decided to close our embassy in Havana and downgrade our diplomatic ties.

Our vote is not against the Cuban people—we respect their right to live in prosperity.

It is against the inaction of Cuba’s authorities in response to massive recruitment of Cuban citizens to the Russian occupation army.

Thousands of them have signed contracts, joining the ranks of soldiers directly engaged in combat operations on Ukrainian soil.

The unwillingness of Havana to stop massive deployment of its nationals in the Russian war against Ukraine constitutes complicity in aggression and must be condemned in the strongest terms.

Ukraine will always oppose such a practice and defend the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.
