Victory was in our hands! Ukraine almost invented its own vaccine – Tymoshenko
Ukrainian scientists approached the authorities with a proposal to develop a domestic vaccine, but instead the authorities decided to spend money from the “coronavirus” fund on the so-called. "big construction"
The leader of the Batkivshchyna faction, Yulia Tymoshenko, stated this on the Ukraine 24 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We are the last in the world both in terms of the pace of vaccination and in all other indicators related to it. And it was not Ukraine that made loud statements about the vaccine that was imported to Ukraine. They were talking about a vaccine made using the same technology, AstraZeneca, which was made by half of the European countries and other countries - and stopped its use, some countries refused it altogether.
When the epidemic just began, our scientists, geneticists, molecular biologists came to the National Security and Defense Council, to the president, with a full explanation of what was needed so that Ukrainian scientists could develop our Ukrainian vaccine, and our Ukrainian enterprises could definitely produce it.
I would use funds to develop a vaccine. But you know where the “coronavirus” fund was spent - it was used for the so-called. "big construction" Not a penny was allocated for the development of our own vaccine, our Ukrainian scientists were not supported,” said Yulia Tymoshenko.
