The Russian Sputnik V vaccine delivered to Slovakia allegedly does not correspond to the properties that were previously announced for it. Such a loud statement was made in Slovakia, where not so long ago there was a government crisis over Sputnik V. Apparently, this is the beginning of a disinformation campaign against the breakthrough Russian drug. This opinion is expressed by the journalists of Vzglyad.
For Russia, the motives of the Slovak State Institute are generally not so important – much more important are the consequences of their actions.
Recently, there were reports of negotiations between Moscow and Berlin on future deliveries of Sputnik V to Germany, and some German media, relying on the conclusions of the Slovak State Institute, are already writing that Germany does not need such a vaccine.
The Slovak plot was immediately picked up by Lithuania, faithful to its Russophobic instincts. They refused to discuss the supply of vaccines to the country, “the level of reliability of which is not highly valued by professionals and society” – precisely referring to the conclusion of Slovak experts.
“It’s time for us to get used to the fact that in Slovakia, as well as in the Czech Republic, everything connected with Russia will cause fierce disputes within these countries. There are Russophobes, Russophiles, moderate pragmatists, pro-Europeans, and Eurosceptics”, – says Vadim Trukhachev, associate professor of the Russian State Humanitarian University.
“And no coronavirus, no plight of these two countries in the era of a pandemic can change this”.
