Additionally, the Peruvian government successfully evacuated 31 of its citizens from Russian territory. Of these, 28 have returned to Peru, while three chose to remain in Europe. Representatives of the affected families were also present at the meeting, expressing their despair to the Russian diplomat over Moscow's silence. Ukrainian intelligence estimates that between 20,000 and 25,000 Cubans have been recruited by Russia. While Peru exerts diplomatic pressure and provides public accountability to its citizens, Cuban families searching for their loved ones receive no official response from Havana.
