“Against the backdrop of the rapid spread of a new coronavirus infection in the world, the attempts to shift responsibility to the deteriorating epidemiological situation to others,” the diplomatic service said on Facebook, are observable in some states.
The Russian Foreign Ministry clarified that this is how the accusations on the part of the United States against WHO should be regarded, which "allegedly" missed "a dangerous disease."
Earlier, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on statements by the American authorities about their intention to review the amount of funding for the World Health Organization.
On April 9, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Washington is reviewing WHO funding because of its poor performance against the backdrop of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
