We prove that almost all natural numbers satisfying certain necessary congruence conditions can be written as the sum of two cubes of primes and two cubes of P2-numbers, where, as usual, we call a natural number a P2-number when it is a prime or the product of two primes. From this result we also deduce that every sufficiently large integer can be written as the sum of eight cubes of P2-numbers.
