The Cuban foreign \u200dministry has taken \u200dimmediate action to &#8220;neutralize and dismantle&#8221; this network,\u200b which has\u200b been operating both within\u200c Cuba and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The Cuban government\u2064 statement \u200drevealed limited details about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pastor-high-school-coach-among-nearly-80-people-arrested-in-sex-trafficking-sting-operation\/\" title=\"Pastor, High School Coach Among Nearly 80 People Arrested In Sex Trafficking Sting Operation\">trafficking ring<\/a>, but it emphasized that it has\u2062 been working to incorporate Cuban citizens \u200dliving in\u200b Russia, as well as some\u200c from Cuba\u200d itself, into the military \u200dforces \u200binvolved in \u200dthe Ukrainian conflict. The Russian defense ministry \u200dhas yet to \u200crespond to this revelation.<\/p>\n<p>Last\u200d year, Russia announced its ambitious plan to increase \u200cthe size of its armed forces by over 30% to 1.5\u2062 million combat personnel. However, the country has \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russias-luna-25-spacecraft-crashes-into-the-moon-ending-its-bid-to-reach-the-lunar-south-pole\/\" title=\"Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft fails to reach the lunar south pole as it crashes into the moon.\">faced challenges due<\/a> to undisclosed casualties in the \u200bwar. In\u2064 late May, a newspaper in Ryazan\u200d reported \u2062that several Cuban citizens had\u200b signed contracts with\u200d Russia&#8217;s\u2064 armed forces and were sent \u2062to Ukraine in exchange for Russian citizenship. It remains unclear if this report is connected to \u2062the recent statement from the Cuban foreign ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Cuba&#8217;s strong political ties with Russia, the Cuban government denies any involvement\u2063 in the Ukraine conflict. The defense ministers of both countries had\u2062 discussed joint &#8220;technical military&#8221; projects earlier this year, \u200dbut Cuba&#8217;s administration under President\u200b Miguel Diaz-Canel firmly states that it\u200d will \u2063energetically\u200d oppose any form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cuba-says-its-citizens-are-being-trafficked-to-fight-for-russia\/\" title=\"Cuba claims its people are being trafficked to fight for Russia.\">human trafficking\u2064 aimed<\/a>\u2062 at recruiting Cuban\u200b citizens as mercenaries.<\/p>\n<p>Cuba has \u200dalready\u2064 taken legal action against those responsible for coercing its\u2062 citizens into fighting in Ukraine.
