Ukrainian opposition party collects signatures to register Russian COVID-19 vaccine

Moscow, Jan 13 (Sputnik) The Ukrainian Opposition Platform — For Life political party on Wednesday started gathering petition signatures urging the country's authorities to register Sputnik V, a Russian-developed vaccine against COVID-19, and launch its production in Ukraine, Artem Marchevsky, the head of the party’s youth wing, said.
Earlier in January, the chairman of the party’s political council, Viktor Medvedchuk, said that Kharkiv-based pharmaceutical company Biolik submitted a registration application for Sputnik V. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials said that the country would be using only vaccines that have passed all three stages of clinical trials. The phase 3 trials of the Russian vaccine are in the process of completion in many countries including Russia, Belarus, Egypt, and India.
"Today, the collection of signatures for an appeal to President [Volodymyr Zelenskyy] and the Cabinet of Ministers has been started, with a demand to register [the vaccine] and launch vaccine production as soon as possible," Marchevsky told the 112 Ukraine TV channel, adding that signature-gathering started in three cities in Kiev-controlled parts of the Donetsk Region.
