The Cuban government again rejected U.S. allegations that the island is involved in the war in Ukraine. A Foreign Ministry statement called the claims false and unsupported by evidence, reaffirming that Cuba is not a party to the conflict.

The ministry also said Cuba is not participating with military personnel in Ukraine. Its response therefore addresses both alleged state involvement and a possible troop presence, rejecting each claim as part of the government's official position.

The Foreign Ministry also referred to mercenary activity. It said Cuba has a clean record in combating the practice and a policy for confronting it. The reference forms part of Havana's defense against allegations about its supposed role in the war.

The declaration was presented as another rejection of efforts to involve Cuba in the conflict. The ministry acknowledges no Cuban participation and denies any deployment to Ukraine. The central issue is the public dispute between U.S. allegations and Cuba's official position.

The message maintains a categorical denial and questions the basis for Washington's claims. Alongside rejecting military intervention, the government cites its policy against mercenary activity as part of its diplomatic response.
