In a short message written in English, the prime minister criticized the Russian leader. “It is said that Sputnik V is good, but Putin does not want to use it to treat his people, he offers it to the world as another hybrid weapon to destroy and control. This is not news nor is it good for humanity,” said the politician. .
The head of government confirmed on Friday that Lithuania will not buy this vaccine. “This vaccine has not been registered in any country of the European Union or EMA (European Medicines Agency – 15 min) I haven’t really evaluated it, “I. Šimonytė noted during the remote press conference.
When asked if Lithuania would buy the Sputnik V vaccine in this case, I. Šimonytė replied:
“I’m sorry, but I can’t make assumptions because the EMA is not deciding which vaccine to approve, not Mr. Borell.”
The comment was in response to a meeting in Moscow on Friday between the European Union’s head of diplomacy, Joseph Borell, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Recently, the head of EU diplomacy expressed his hope that the COVID-19 vaccine developed in Russia will be used in the Community of 27 Member States in the near future, and that its efficacy will be confirmed by the European Medicines Agency.
“There will be no more comment on this subject than I said, because Sputnik V is definitely not the vaccine that we have included in our vaccine portfolio,” Minister I. Šimonytė added at Friday’s conference.
