Ukraine has taken a significant diplomatic step by downgrading its relations with Cuba, citing the failure of the Cuban authorities to act against the mass recruitment of its citizens into the Russian occupation forces. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned this inaction, emphasizing that it constitutes a violation of both international law and the fundamental rights of Cuban citizens. The decision underscores Ukraine’s deepening concerns over the potential militarization of the region and its commitment to protecting the sovereignty of nations.
