Thus, he commented on the situation between Beijing and Washington in the wake of the pandemic.

“We cannot allow the virus to be used as part of an ideological confrontation,” he said.

According to him, every person and every politician should "look in the mirror and ask himself if he is doing enough to stop this virus."

He emphasized that it was regrettable for WHO to use impartial and offensive language.

“This does not help ... We at WHO want to be directly involved in the fight against coronavirus. We are trying to focus on what needs to be done. There are a lot of vulnerable people in the world, and they need our help, ”he added.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that WHO should not "turn into a puck" for the political games of individual countries.
