Pro-Russian politicians promoting Russia’s coronavirus vaccine are making advances as the West delays sending its own vaccines to Ukraine, The New York Times reports in a story headlined: “In Vaccine Geopolitics, a Great Game Played With Ukrainians’ Health.” The article reports that the first Covax-supplied vaccines are to arrive in March, and commercial purchases of Western vaccines are only to start at the end of this year. In a New Year message, President Zelenskiy complained that “the richest countries” will get the vaccine first.
