So he commented on the statements of the National Cybersecurity Center of Great Britain that the "hackers involved in the Russian special services" attacked various organizations involved in the development of the vaccine against COVID-19 in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
“There is no need to“ steal ”anything from Oxford, since AstraZeneca has already agreed with one of our portfolio companies, R-Pharm, to produce Oxford vaccines in Russia. Therefore, there is no need to steal anything, there is no need for secrets, ”Dmitriev said in an interview with Times Radio. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
The head of the fund added that "everything has already been transferred to R-Pharm, which will produce the AstraZeneca vaccine in Russia using all technologies and know-how."
Dmitriev also linked the statements of Britain about the alleged Russian hacker attacks on Western pharmaceutical companies in an attempt to tarnish the Russian vaccine from people who are afraid of its success.
