She recalled the creation of the global COVAX initiative, thanks to which Ukraine will receive the first batches of vaccines against coronavirus, which will be vaccinated for doctors and medical personnel this month.
According to Unian, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen called on the EU member states to donate vaccines against the coronavirus to Ukraine.
“Millions of vaccine doses will be delivered to Ukraine by summer. The European Union is the largest donor to the COVAX initiative and we are proud of that. And in addition to COVAX, I asked EU members to donate their part of the vaccines to Ukraine. All vaccines from the EU are guaranteed to be safe and effective. They have been thoroughly checked by the independent European Medicines Agency”, – said the President of the EC.
According to her, “the European Union is on the side of Ukraine, as it always was, including in difficult moments of your modern history, because we are all one European family”. But so far, apart from words, the EU is not ready to help Ukraine with anything else.
