Report: #Cuba Could Have Sent as Many as 14,000 Fighters to #Russia Breitbart Report: Cuba Could Have Sent as Many as 14,000 Fighters to Russia Cuba’s #communist Castro regime may have sent as many as 14,000 Cuban nationals to fight for Russia in #Ukraine between July and August, according to a joint report published Monday by the Madrid-based Cuba Siglo 21 think tank and the Havana Consulting Group. “All evidence points to a collaborative and concerted effort between the Russian and Cuban governments to organize a recruitment network of Cuban volunteers to join Russian troops in Ukraine,” Cuba Siglo 21 stated on its website. The organizations reached their conclusion by analyzing data on the 117 flights between Russia and Cuba documented between July and August, at a rate of 13 flights per week. The flights, according to the report, represented an available seat capacity of 52,497, of which 38,407 were occupied by Russian tourists that traveled to the island nation — 73.16 percent of the available seat capacity.

Human Rights' conditions Investigative research analyst, monitoring, documenting and reporting Human Rights' abuses.
It is possible that Poland's warnings about Wagner troops are an attempt to justify its continued refusal to accept migrants. Poland has been criticized by human rights groups for its harsh treatment of migrants, and the government has been accused of using the threat of a "hybrid attack" to justify its policies. However, it is also possible that Poland is genuinely concerned about the threat posed by Wagner troops. The group has a history of carrying out violent attacks, and it is not clear what their intentions are in Belarus. Ultimately, it is too early to say whether Poland's warnings about Wagner troops are a genuine attempt to protect its borders or a pretext for continuing to refuse to accept migrants. However, the situation is tense, and it is clear that Poland is taking the threat seriously. It is also important to note that Poland is not the only country that has been criticized for its treatment of migrants. The European Union as a whole has been accused of failing to live up to its obligations to protect refugees. In 2021, the European Court of Justice ruled that the EU's "pushback" policies, which involve forcibly returning migrants to their countries of origin, are illegal. The situation of migrants in Europe is complex, and there is no easy solution. However, it is important to remember that these are people who are fleeing violence and persecution, and they deserve to be treated with compassion and respect. #refugees #poland #humanrights #humanrightsviolations #humanrightseducation #humanrightswatch #eu #europeanunion #migrants #pushbacks #wagner #wagnergroup #russiaukrainewar #belarus #bordersecurity #bordercontrol
Human Rights' conditions Investigative research analyst, monitoring, documenting and reporting Human Rights' abuses.
Poland's prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki has warned that Wagner troops stationed in Belarus near the Polish border may launch a "hybrid attack" and try to infiltrate the EU. He said that some troops have since taken up positions to the Suwałki Gap – the security-critical border region between Nato states Poland and Lithuania, which is flanked by both Belarus and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. Mr Morawiecki claimed Wagner mercenaries may be disguised as Belarusian border guards to help illegal immigrants enter Polish territory and destabilise Poland, or that they may try to enter Polish territory posing as migrants themselves. His comments come days after Poland's interior minister warned Poland, Lithuania and Latvia could jointly decide to shut their borders to Belarus if there are serious incidents involving the Wagner group along the frontiers. Tensions have been rising in the area in recent weeks. Earlier this month, Poland deployed military units to the east after Wagner mercenaries began training Belarusian special forces a few miles from its border. Two days later Vladimir Putin accused Poland of having territorial ambitions and said any aggression against Belarus would be considered an attack on Russia. Poland has denied planning any attack on Belarus. But deputy prime minister Jarosław Kaczyński, chair of the Law and Justice Party, said on Friday Wagner fighters were "not in Belarus for fun". He said: "We want to say it clearly: We are doing everything that is needed and that is sufficient for us to easily repel any potential provocations or aggressive undertakings," from the Belarus side."
