So far there are no details about the purchase of vaccines.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is helping the Ministry of Health to establish contacts with representatives of the vaccine manufacturer.
Ukraine is negotiating the purchase of a Chinese coronavirus vaccine, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said in an interview with Ukraine 24 TV channel.
“They are ready to supply it,” said the minister.
According to him, the Ministry of Health has specific information. Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is helping this department to establish contacts with representatives of the manufacturer.
According to Kuleba, Ukraine has three options for receiving a coronavirus vaccine.
The first option is the COVAX program.
“We can use political instruments to increase the number of vaccines that will be administered to us through the COVAX program,” Kuleba said.
The second option is to ask countries that have bought far more vaccines than they need to sell or transfer the surplus.
The third way is to negotiate with the manufacturing company and the government of the country where it is located.
“There is political influence, that is, you come to the vaccine manufacturer, they tell you” we are ready, but we need the position of the government of the country where our business is located, “and then you go to the government to negotiate,” Kuleba said.
Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said with whom they were negotiating about the vaccine. Negotiations on vaccines are under way with India, Great Britain, France and other countries.
