Cuba–Ukraine relations refers tobilateral relations between theRepublic of Cuba andUkraine. Both countries established relations on 12 March 1992.[1] Both countries' foreign relations have been impacted by their respective relationships withRussia and the previousSoviet Union.
Relations between the two countries declined following theRussian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. From 5,000 to 7,000 Cuban nationals were reported to have been recruited by theRussian Armed Forces as mercenaries for the invasion, which the Cuban government denied.[2] Cuba also abstained from voting on General Assembly resolutions demanding Russia's withdrawal of forces from Ukraine.[3]First Secretary of the Communist Party of CubaMiguel Díaz-Canel praisedVladimir Putin's support for Cuba and blamed the United States for provoking the invasion.[4]
In response, in October 2025, the Ukrainian government closed its embassy in Havana and downgraded its relations with the Cuban government, and additionally voted against an annualUnited Nations General Assembly resolution against theUnited States embargo against Cuba, marking the country's first vote supporting the embargo since the General Assembly began passing such resolutions in 1994.[5][6]
