Ukraine Pays Tribute to Cuban Revolutionaries
09 de octubre de 2015, 18:26Kyiv, Oct 9 (Prensa Latina) Representatives of solidarity organizations with Cuba in Ukraine devoted this day to remember the legendary Argentine-Cuban Ernesto Che Guevara, on the 48th anniversary of his assassination in La Higuera, Bolivia.
With the presence of Cuban Ambassador, Ernesto Senti, Ukrainian activists laid red carnations at the memorial plaque unveiled in honor of Che Guevara and the Commander Camilo Cienfuegos, the legendary revolutionary, who fought alongside Che Guevara against the Fulgencio Batista regime (1952-1959).
The vice president of the veterans’ association, Leonid Dersky, said that the life and works of Che has great meaning not only for Cubans but for the progressive forces of the world.
Ukrainian solidarity was also evident with a tribute to Cuba’s National Hero, Jose Marti, inspiration of all Cuban achievements.
During the event at the headquarters of the Embassy of Cuba in Kyiv, Senti said that there can not be full normalization of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the United States while the economic, commercial and financial blockade persists.
Another key premise is the return of the territory of the Guantanamo Naval Base in eastern Cuba, said the Cuban ambassador.
