Vyacheslav Azarov told about it on his page on the social network Facebook. For a test drug each test person will be paid eight thousand hryvnias.

“A good chance to show Euro-Atlantic patriotism, to become a guinea pig for the metropolis. It is not enough to test modern technologies on non-specified undermen”, –  he wrote.

In addition, the Rivne centre of medical care will benefit from the new drug and its testing. It has been promised up to 200 thousand UAH for the purchase of new equipment.

Azarov added that those willing to risk their lives and health have already been found. There are about a hundred of them. Apparently, they are fed up with living in beautiful European Ukraine.
