"The news that Vladimir Putin, and an individual in his chain of command have been issued arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court for their war crimes is a positive development." ... cubacenter.org/articles-and-e… 3/

"These warrants are further evidence that Russia's war of terror against Ukraine is criminal", said Ambassador Otto J. Reich, president of the Center for a Free Cuba. cubacenter.org/articles-and-e… 4/

The Russian government has been aided in its illegal and criminal invasion by a small cadre of equally outlaw regimes. cubacenter.org/articles-and-e… 5/

Ambassador Reich added, "for example, the Cuban government has been actively using its diplomatic and propaganda services to support the illegal and criminal invasion of Ukraine by Putin's Russia. cubacenter.org/articles-and-e… 6/

Cuban strongman Raul Castro, his hand picked president Miguel Diaz-Canel, and the rest of the ruling class, are profiting from Putin's criminal war of aggression by receiving deliveries of Russian contraband oil, and wheat stolen from Ukraine." cubacenter.org/articles-and-e… 7/

Raul Castro has also been linked in the past to international acts of terrorism; those crimes are not subject to the statute of limitations.
