"Now we are making a decision on what kind of vaccine we will purchase, but the Russian vaccine is on the list of vaccines that we are considering, it has good positions, it will be seen further," RIA Novosti quotes the Uruguayan minister.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the issue of Israel's purchase of the Sputnik V vaccine.

Russia is expected to start delivering Sputnik V to Venezuela in January 2021.
