According to the source, Cuban “volunteers” join the Russian army through unofficial channels.
The total number of people involved in Russia's war in Ukraine “is probably in the small hundreds,” the source said.
According to him, Cubans are encouraged to join the war by payments offered by the Russian military.
Some of them are also attracted by 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.
