December 13, 1962	Bolesław Jeleń, 'Information Note' According to the Polish ambassador, Moscow’s goal to install missile launchers in Cuba was not completely clear.

To him, the Soviet move seemed more like a political ploy than military strategy. Warsaw’s emissary in Havana concluded his critical observations by stating that the Soviet Union did not make a mistake in withdrawing the missiles as the Cubans suggested but rather by installing them in the first place.
