– Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on the 17th (local time) that he has not yet received a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine developed by local experts.
At a year-end press conference held on the same day, President Putin answered the question whether he received the Corona 19 vaccine “Sputnik V” developed by the “Gamalea National Center for Infectious Diseases and Microbiology” under the Ministry of Health of his country and started vaccinating the public.
President Putin said, “Experts say that the currently available vaccine is for residents of a certain age (18-60 years old). (68 years old) It hasn’t come to someone like me yet,” he said. “I’m listening to the recommendations of experts, and if possible, I will definitely be right.” He added, “The vaccine is effective and safe,” he added. “There is no reason not to get vaccinated.”
The Russian government approved’Sputnik V’as the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine in mid-August. The final phase 3 clinical trial, usually performed, began only after enrollment. Massive vaccinations in Russia began earlier this month. On the 15th, Russia announced the final phase 3 results of’Sputnik V’, claiming that the prevention effect was 91.4%.
“Navalni, being monitored with support from US intelligence agencies”
– In addition, President Putin said in connection with some media reports that the attempt to poison Russian opposition activist Alexey Navalni in August was likely made by a poison team under the Federal Security Agency (FSB), a Russian intelligence agency, “This is not an exploration report. “It is to legalize data from US intelligence agencies.”
President Putin insisted that his statically known Navalni was supported by Western institutions. “(Navalni) is being supported by US intelligence agencies,” he explained. “If so, this is interesting and (our) intelligence agencies should of course monitor him.”
CNN broadcast on the 14th, citing the results of joint interviews with British’Belling Cat’ and German Despiegel on the 14th, and reported that FSB special agents who appear to have been involved in an attempt to poison Navalni in August have been identified.
“We haven’t decided whether to rerun for the 2024 presidential election.”
– In addition, President Putin said, “I do not decide whether or not to run for the presidential election in 2024, and in form, this permission comes from the people. Let’s see,” he said.
Russia previously adopted a constitutional amendment through a referendum in July that allows President Putin, who is currently in power for the fourth term, to continue in power until 2036. As a result, President Putin, who is 68 years old this year, can serve two more presidency for six years until 2036, when he turns 84.
Unlike previous years in the Corona 19 situation, President Putin’s press conference lasted for 4 hours and 30 minutes, which was held in the form of a teleconference.
