Moscow:
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday dismissed foreign criticism of the country’s Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine and mentioned he would get the jab the following day.
Describing EU remarks on the vaccine as “strange”, Putin mentioned: “We are not imposing anything on anyone… Whose interests are such people protecting — of pharmaceutical companies or the interests of citizens of European countries?”
“Vaccination is of course the voluntary choice of every person… By the way, I intend to do it myself tomorrow,” he mentioned in televised remarks.
