Well Putin has been courting them pretty hard in recent years. He has been to the island twice, had Raoul come to Moscow. He's forgiven billions in Soviet era debts, made agreements and loans for infrastructure development, thermal energy and oil exploration. Heck they're even started shipping Russian oil to Cuba again to make up for shortfalls from that other socialist paradise Venezuela. I'd think cooling of relations between the west and Cuba would both protect and help advance that agenda significantly.
On the other hand I don't see what advantage the Cuban government would get by making these attacks themselves. My gut tells me that somebody is setting them up as Patsies and the signs seem to point to Moscow. I could be wrong...
