The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharov said that the West initiates a “vaccine war”, criticizing the Russian vaccine from coronavirus. This is reported by TASS.
“EU countries, in particular, France, stated that allegedly Russia and China lead some vaccine diplomacy, but not in a good sense of the word, and not in very good,” the diplomat noted. She called the actions of the west side “endless flow of lies” and stressed that the “vaccine wars” are conducted against Moscow.
Zakharova concluded that the political excitement around the humanitarian theme of vaccination and the fight against the pandemic is artificially formed in Europe.
May 23 became known that the Russian vaccine for the prevention of the COVID-19 “satellite V” can be certified for use in the European Union until the end of June. On March 4, 2021, the European Medicinal Agency has begun to check the “satellite V” for compliance with EU standards for efficiency, safety and quality.
