Israeli police are investigating the alleged illegal export of the coronavirus vaccine to Ukraine. This was announced by Director of the International Relations Division in the Ministry of Health of Israel Asher Shalmon, Kontrabanda informs.
"The police are investigating this story and, as far as I know, it has not yet been established whether there was a case of vaccine smuggling from Israel to Ukraine. I am convinced that the investigation will be conducted properly, and if this fact is established - the perpetrators will be brought to justice. In our understanding, this is a serious crime," the official said.
He expressed confidence that the results of the investigation would appear "soon".
Viktor Lyashko, Chief Sanitary Doctor of Ukraine, in turn, stated that the information about the smuggling was fake.
As we reported earlier, the team of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is dissatisfied with the negotiation process of Health Minister Maksym Stepanov on vaccines against coronavirus.
