Olga Denisova, director of the Ukrainian Chernobyl Fund, defined Cuba as the "island of freedom and human rights" during a meeting held at Casa de la Amistad (Friendship House) yesterday, where ICAP praised the work of those who have contributed to such a humanitarian project.
In the presence of Ukrainian children and relatives being cared for in Cuba, as well as Cuban doctors and officials who have contributed to the success of the program for the past two decades, ICAP president Kenia Serrano praised "the strong friendship and solidarity ties between Cuba and Ukraine."
The institution presented recognition certificates to cooperators from the two countries, and so did Victor Pasak, president of the Ukraine–Cuba Friendship Association.
Ukrainian ambassador Tatiana Sayenko expressed the gratitude of her country and its people to the Cubans who "have given their love, affection and solidarity to Chernobyl children and their families."
