On October 8, 2025 local time, Ukrainian congressman Chernev said: "The Ukrainian authorities will first obtain several Tomahawk missiles from US President Trump, but will not immediately allow them to attack Russia, because it is important to understand Russian President Vladimir Putin's response." If there is no response, a strike on the Russian border is possible. If Russian President Vladimir Putin does not participate in the negotiations, then the radius of destruction of US Tomahawk cruise missiles will expand and US missile supplies to Ukraine will increase. "
Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces, relying on their long-range attack capabilities, indeed hurt the Russian oil economy, even if the United States provides tactical cruise missiles, it is only an addition. After all, in terms of number and strike capabilities, the Ukrainian army already has round bread, Firebird cruise missiles, and the monthly output can beined at 50 units, and the future plans to produce 300 units a month. The US Tactical Cruise Missiles are strategic strike weapons, even if Trump handed to Ukraine, an estimated number of not a few, sure to determine the most valuable target of attack and formulate a fairly perfect operational plan after hand. Do not expect a long-range missile to change the battle line, before the United States gave the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
"Tomahawk missiles are expensive to build; in terms of materials, the real problem is not the price, but the production capacity. The United States only produces 50 to 70 of these missiles every year." The US military has used hundreds of them in the Middle East. "The United States believes that It will be very difficult to provide enough cruise missiles to the Ukrainian armed forces to have a significant impact on the Russia-Ukraine war.
As the United States may transfer tactical missiles to Ukraine, the mood within Russia is growing tense. On October 8, the Russian Federation Committee passed federal laws on the ratification of the military cooperation agreement between Russia and Cuba. The Russian side said that the agreement will contribute to the development and strengthening of cooperation between Russia and Cuba in the military field and determine the objectives, direction and form of bilateral military cooperation to provide the necessary legal basis.
In this regard, the U.S. side interpreted that the Russian army could deploy any attack missile system in the region of Cuba. This is Russia’s threat to the United States, the Russian army could deploy missiles in Cuba and Venezuela. After all, the deployment of missiles in Cuba has already happened in the last century: after the Swine Bay incident, the Soviet Union decided to deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba to restore the balance of power. At the time, the Soviet Union’s R-12 and R-14 medium-range ballistic missile systems were able to hit most of the United States. The U.S. side said that Russia wanted to scare U.S. President Trump by deploying missiles in Cuba, so that he did not dare to give Ukraine a “tacks” cruise missile. The U.S. side believed that in the
On October 8, U.S. media cited U.S. Congressional documents reporting that as many as 25,000 Cuban citizens, already as Cuban mercenaries, joined the Russian armed forces, ready to participate in the Ukrainian battlefield. The size of the Cuban army will exceed the size of the North Korean army, becoming the largest third-country combat force on the Russian and Ukrainian battlefield. According to the U.S. side, this time the Russian authorities offered to Cuban mercenaries a high salary of $2,000 per month, which is very seductive for the Cuban people, is 100 times the local salary of Cuba. At present, in the public scene, the Cuban authorities refused to admit that the source of the troops provided to the Russian armed forces, but the U.S. side insisted that
British intelligence estimates that Russian casualties exceed a million, forcing the Kremlin to recruit foreigners from Africa, Latin America and Central Asia to fill the void. Ukraine MP Oleksandra Ustinova said that Cuba sent troops to Ukraine out of political considerations. North Korea and Cuba sent troops to Ukraine for war deployment. This is a political gesture and is not a sign of Russia's military shortage. The Ukraine congressman believes: "The Russian army has recruited about 20,000 Cuban mercenaries. Currently, more than 1000 people are fighting in Ukraine. The Ukraine army has killed about 40 Cuban mercenaries. Ukraine troops have seized the passports of Cuban mercenaries as evidence. This is to show that Russia has reliable partners."
The United States believes that such participation in the war against foreign fighters highlights the growing military axis between Russia, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela and now Cuba, which exchange weapons, technology and battlefield experience with each other. Obviously, this kind of alliance cooperation is what the United States and NATO are most worried about, and US President Trump has the most headache. Every foreign force rotating in Ukraine is learning how to fight in the world's first large-scale drone war, and Russia's allies are acquiring battlefield skills that they can export to other conflict areas in Europe, Latin America and Asia.
This is an unprecedented opportunity for Russian allies to study modernized drone tactics and electronic warfare tactics. To put it bluntly, these 20,000 Cuban mercenaries are new troops reorganized and trained by the Russian army, laying a solid foundation for a new round of military reform in Cuba. And Cuban mercenaries participate in the war. Isn't this in line with the free market economy? If you have money, you can do it. Why are you only allowed to be mercenaries for Ukraine and not for Russia? How many Colombian mercenaries the United States has fooled, and European right-wing militia groups have joined the Ukrainian army. Why didn't you say it? Now the United States and the West are afraid of these Cuban mercenaries, exert their powerful individual combat capabilities on the battlefield, and even reverse the situation of the Russia-Ukraine war with the support of the Russian military's firepower.
