HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 29 (ACN) The arrival in Cuba of the first child victims of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, a moment that marks 32 years ago Tuesday, was described today by Cuban PM Manuel Marrero Cruz as a great gesture of solidarity.
On Twitter, Marrero Cruz recalled that on that day in 1990 the children were received by Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz.
