PRESS RELEASE:

WE MUST OPPOSE THE ADVANCES OF THE AXIS OF EVIL IN THE WORLD

Miami, Florida—April 16, 2024—Assembly of the Cuban Resistance—We must not leave the Ukrainian people alone in their fight against the Russian invasion. An invasion that the totalitarian Cuban regime, through the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), has supported by sending young Cubans as mercenaries. The Cuban dictatorship cooperates with Russia, Iran, and China in this conspiracy against the free world.

The axis of evil’s penetration in our hemisphere is growing, as proved by the recent case of the former US diplomat Victor Manuel Rocha, who was convicted of spying for decades on behalf of the communist regime in Cuba against the United States’ security.

The members of the ACR recently alerted American legislators to the national and international security threats that will arise from abandoning an ally, since totalitarian and autocratic regimes, even in our region, “would stiffen their resolve” to redraw borders and undermine democracy.

In the letter, the ACR also reminds Congress that the United States, as signatory of the Budapest Memorandum that denuclearized Ukraine, has the moral obligation to guarantee the integrity of its territory as promised in 1994.

As members of the Assembly of the Cuban Resistance, who are committed to the struggle for freedom in Cuba and opposing the advances of communism in the world, we believe that we must remain vigilant of what is happening in this momentous period where we are confronted by all these aggressions of the axis of evil. Therefore, we must show solidarity with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters, and not leave them alone in their fight to defend their sovereignty.

The Assembly of the Cuban Resistance (ACR) raises its voice against the axis of evil’s violations of freedom, sovereignty, and world peace, including Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Iran’s attack against Israel, and the inroads that communist China has made into the free world.

UKRAINE MUST NOT BE ABANDONED

The Assembly of the Cuban Resistance (ARC) is a coalition of Cuban Exile Organizations and Opposition Groups operating in Cuba, working worldwide in a peaceful but fervent manner to rid Cuba of its communist, tyrannical regime. In 2021 Cuba was designated as a “State Sponsor of Terrorism” by the United States Government.

The members of the ARC are seriously concerned with the dire situation in Ukraine and the perceived danger of stopping or reducing the resources and logistical support being provided by the United States and other countries. We care and support the Ukrainian people in their noble quest to defeat the Russian invasion and denounce the involvement of the Cuban regime in the war, by sending thousands of soldiers to join Russia in the genocidal war against Ukraine.

Ukrainians are fighting for survival, with limited resources, but with resolve, courage and love for their country, and the proper and timely level of support and assistance must continue without delay. Considerations for the continued support are as follows:

1. In 1994 an agreement known as the “Budapest Memorandum” was signed by the U.S. and England, in which Ukraine would return their nuclear arsenal to Russia. In return, the U.S. and U.K. would guarantee Ukraine’s security and that Ukraine would not stand alone when facing a threat to their sovereignty.
2. History has shown that abandoning allies has serious consequences. Cancelling the U.S. support of the freedom fighters at the Bay of Pigs in 1961 resulted in the nuclear missile crisis of 1962, and the shameful Kennedy-Khrushchev agreement of “no invasion to Cuba”, which consolidated Castro’s communist regime in our hemisphere and the creation of guerrilla movements throughout Latin America and beyond.
3. Russia will be emboldened by a victory in Ukraine, as already suggested by Mr. Putin, who would continue with the efforts to redraw European borders and reconfigure the world order under an authoritarian axis.
4. Also, totalitarian regimes around the world, such as China and Venezuela, would stiffen their resolve to pursue their own expansionist objectives.

Ukrainians are engaged in a deadly struggle in defense of their freedom and their territorial integrity. The United States and allies must not flinch in its support. We call upon the U.S. Congress to expedite its proceedings and vote for the national security supplemental, which would provide Ukraine the desperately needed security assistance to thwart Russia’s onslaught. As the steward of global democracy, supporting Ukraine is in the national security interest of the United States of America.
