“As a member of the government, I would oppose such a decision, because Russia does not care about the health of Ukrainians, it cares about imposing its propaganda clichés and ideology by supplying the vaccine,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Thus, she answered the question of whether Ukraine would use the Russian vaccine against COVID-19, if its effectiveness was proven and it would be cheaper.
The minister also said that the discussion of the issue of purchasing "Sputnik V" by the Ukrainian side is a sign of "an imposed hybrid discussion."
“There are no final results of research on Sputnik V, and this is a medical indicator.
But I want to say that there is a factor here that is much more important from the point of view of Russia's interests than a medical one - it is a propaganda factor, ”Kuleba added.
Earlier, the Minister of Health of Ukraine Maxim Stepanov confirmed that the Kharkiv-based company Biolek had applied for registration of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine against coronavirus.
