I don't really understand why someone would want to emigrate from Cuba to Russia in the first place, and certainly not die in a war for the privilege.

People are leaving Cuba for Haiti (not many, but some), others for Surinam, Nicaragua and Guyana. The only point is to get out, it almost doesn't matter the destination

watch Kurt Kaz episodes about life on Cuba, and find out the reason.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In a statement, the Cuban foreign ministry said that the authorities were working to “neutralise and dismantle” the network, which it said was operating within the Caribbean island nation and in Russia.

Andrey Gurulev, a lawmaker and retired military officer, said on Monday that the defence ministry was aiming to recruit another 140,000 Russian soldiers by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin on Tuesday declined to comment on reports that the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, planned to travel to Russia this month to meet Vladimir Putin and discuss supplying Moscow with weapons for Ukraine.

While Peskov did not comment on the reported meeting with Kim, the Kremlin did say Putin was planning to travel to Vladivostok next week to take part in the annual Eastern Economic Forum.

But we also have information that they’re seeking other types of munitions to assist their war in Ukraine,” the White House national security spokesperson, John Kirby, said last week.

Russia’s eagerness to engage with North Korea also suggests Moscow is running low on stocks of some advanced weapons, as the war in Ukraine enters its 559th day.


The original article contains 699 words, the summary contains 187 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Russia looking to get advanced weapons from North Korea? Yeah, this war sure is going great for them.

Back at the beginning of the war the Russians planted some copies of Sims 3 as evidence of an assassination plot instead of planting three SIM cards.

I wonder if this is a similar case of miscommunication, with Putin writing down "A box of Cubans" and getting people instead of cigars.
