Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said in an interview with News International that Russia is ready to supply coronavirus vaccine to countries in need on a transparent basis
“The priority at this stage is to vaccinate the population. Of course, the question of equitable distribution of anti-vaccine drugs is very sensitive, especially for the poorest countries. In this regard we are ready to supply safe and effective Russian vaccines on a transparent basis. A lot of work is being done in this direction”, – Lavrov said.
The head of the Foreign Ministry stressed that the crisis could be effectively overcome only by uniting. The minister also noted the importance of suspending “trade barriers, illegitimate sanctions, restrictions in the financial, technological and information spheres” that negatively affect the fight against the pandemic.
