Vladimir Putin appears to be pressuring Venezuela and Cuba to join Russia in the fighting if Russia goes to war in Ukraine. Russia might have deployed forces in the two countries, though that has not been confirmed nor denied.
Deploying forces in those two countries doesn't seem to translate to anything else, telling them that they must either side with Russia or get blown apart. Putin needs more allies in this conflict. NATO and much of the world have already sided with Ukraine. Putin perhaps is putting off going to war only until he has sucked all the countries to his side that he can.
