Moscow-Sana

Today, the Russian Foreign Ministry called on all British media outlets to apologize to the developers of the (Sputnik V) vaccine, against the backdrop of publishing fabricated news about Russia “stealing a vaccine formula against the Corona virus from AstraZeneca.”

And some British media outlets apologized yesterday for publishing fabricated news about the (Sputnik V) vaccine against Corona, in which they allege that Russia stole its formula from the British company AstraZeneca.

“I think that the journalists of at least one newspaper (Daily Express) have enough decency and a sense of conscience to apologize,” Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Russia Today. They still have a chance to maintain some similarity in honor and respect for their readers and apologies to the developers of the Russian vaccine.”

Zakharova pointed out that when the “false news” appeared, the Russian Foreign Ministry did not comment on it and did not publish a refutation of it, calling on the newspapers (The Sun, The Independent, Edinburgh Evening News and other media) to apologize.

Yesterday, the Russian Fund for Direct Investments rejected the allegations of the British newspaper (The Sun) about the theft of the formula for the Russian vaccine (Sputnik V) against Corona.
