Too stupid to know what they’re going to face or really desperate to leave Cuba?
Cuba probably keeps them in the dark about what’s happening.
The Cuban government is actively trying to stop this recruitment. The job postings people are responding to are fake.
If it’s like their recruitment in India, it’s promises of big bonuses and “no, you won’t be fighting, you’ll be driving a truck in Kursk” or whatever.
Spoiler: they’ll be sent to fight on the front line and killed before they get that pay.
And South Americans are being recruited by Ukraine to fight Russia.

Russia captures Colombian mercenary fighting on behalf of Ukraine.
Good.
Since other commenters aren’t bothering to look into it at all:
Cuba is actively trying to prevent this.
If at this point anybody willingly accepts any job in muscovy, they deserve everything that will happen to them.
Part of the problem is they’re being lied to on what exactly their job is. This has been reported on previously. The job description was never a soldier. It’s blatant human trafficking and slave soldiering.
Look, ruskies have been hiring in Cuba, India, Nepal and elsewhere for well over a year now. If they don’t know what’s going on, it’s only because of ignorance.
Ignorance kills. In this case quite literally.
You act like poor people in Cuba and India have the same access to global information as you and I do. I don’t think that’s the case. Poverty and desperation is on another level in these areas.
Victim-blaming by saying it’s a matter of ignorance is like saying she was asking for it.
