No, the Soviet Union (USSR) was never at war with Cuba. From the time of Cuban Revolution (1959) until the dissolution of the USSR (1992) Cuba and the USSR were allies.
Two major events involving Cuba during the Cold War were the Cuban Revolution in 1959, which led to Fidel Castro's rise to power and the establishment of a communist government, and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, where the U.S. discovered Soviet nuclear missiles stationed in Cuba, leading to a tense standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union. The revolution marked Cuba's alignment with the Soviet bloc, while the missile crisis brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, highlighting the intense rivalry between the superpowers.
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and Cuba were both communist countries, and the Soviet Union provided money and supplies to Cuba during the US trade embargo with Cuba. After the collapse of the Soviet Union all aid to Cuba was cut off. Cuba's close proximity to the United States gave the Soviet Union a foothold in the Western hemisphere at the US doorstep.
The revolution that took over Cuba in 1959 was led by Fidel Castro, along with key figures such as Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos. They aimed to overthrow the authoritarian regime of Fulgencio Batista, who had been in power since 1952. The movement gained popular support and ultimately succeeded, leading to the establishment of a communist government in Cuba.
