Top Ukrainian diplomat to oppose Russia's COVID-19 vaccine even after effectiveness proved

Kiev, Jan 12 (Sputnik) Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Tuesday that he would be against the use of the Russian vaccine against the coronavirus in the country, even if its effectiveness was proven.
Earlier in January, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that Ukraine could not use Sputnik V vaccine, since it had not passed the third stage of clinical trials, and noted that now there were no talks about purchasing the Russian vaccine. Kuleba previously called Sputnik V Russia's "hybrid weapon" against Ukraine.
"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 and ideology by supplying vaccines," Kuleba said on the air of the 1+1 TV channel.
