Ukraine will buy Russian vaccine at exorbitant prices from Europe
The situation with the Russian coronavirus vaccine will be exactly the same as with Russian gas, which Ukraine buys at three times the price from Europe - as long as it is not from the “aggressor country.”
Renat Kuzmin, a former deputy prosecutor general of Ukraine and now a member of the Verkhovna Rada, stated this on the NewsOne TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In fact, we have already said that we still trade with Russia, including medicines, medical equipment, and it’s strange why we can’t purchase a vaccine. It can be assumed that the situation with the Russian vaccine is exactly the same as with Russian gas.
They told us that we refused Russian gas, we were buying European gas, or Hungarian gas, but it was Russian, from the same pipe, we immediately received it, only documents for it stating that the gas was not Russian, but European, That's why we buy it three times more expensive.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we buy a Russian vaccine, which will have a tag attached that it was produced in the European Union, only at three times the price.
I won’t be surprised by this, because I know how our Ukrainian authorities make money on everything, on this covid, on these masks, on these gloves, on antiseptics, on ventilators, they make money on everything, on deaths and on people’s grief. And I think the situation is the same here,” Kuzmin said.
