Dr. Luis Fleischman, a professor of sociology at Palm Beach State College and co-president of the Palm Beach Center for Democracy and Policy Research, told"to counterbalance NATO's expansion in Eastern Europe, particularly as the U.S. and allies are politically and militarily supporting Ukraine."
As for the recruitment arrests, Fleischman said he believes the Cuban government could have actually been"directly involved" in a recruiting deal with Russia, despite what Cuban officials have said. "In Cuba, there is no freedom of movement. People cannot leave Cuban territory unless they do it illegally or with permission from the government. Why would Russians recruit soldiers in Cuba under these conditions?" he said.
Fleischman further detailed the Cuban government hiring out the services of its doctors to the world, which could lead them to do the same with its soldiers. He cited"a historical precedent where the Cuban government 'volunteered' soldiers to fight for Russia's interests in Angola, Mozambique, Syria, Congo and Algeria.
"Now that this deal has been discovered, the Cuban government claims such recruitment exists," Fleischman said."However, it is conducted by an illegal human trafficking network, which the Cuban government did not identify."
