Moscow-Sana
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced today that the spread of the Russian vaccine against the Corona virus "Sputnik V" raises Russia's standing in international forums, noting that "the West does not want that."
Lavrov said in an interview with RBC TV that "the West knows that the Russian vaccine, if not really the best vaccine, is in the best category," adding: "Otherwise, there would not be such an influx of requests for this vaccine, which is growing steadily."
Lavrov stated that the West "realizes that the fact that Sputnik V and our other vaccines have spread in international markets means an increase in Russia's position and reputation in the international arena .. They do not want that."
Lavrov pointed out that at the same time, many European countries want to wait until Sputnik V is approved by the European Medicines Agency, adding: “After the scientific assessments of independent global scientific research institutions are published, they must in the West recognize that the Russian vaccine is good .. But with Attempts to discredit him continue.
Last Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Health announced that the "Sputnik V" vaccine had been registered in 27 countries to treat Corona.
