Over half of Ukrainians support the purchase of the vaccine against the coronavirus from Russia as Robotic TeleSystems reported after opinion surveys held from October 9 up to October 12, 2020.
The respondents were asked: “It is known that Russian confirmed the possibility of supply to Ukraine of the vaccine against coronavirus. The opinions in Ukrainians divided on this issue. In your opinion, is it necessary to purchase the vaccine from Russia now or it is necessary to wait until another country starts to produce it?”.
