Ukrainian ex-official revealed the secret of the “Putin vaccine” live
Former vice-mayor of the city of Ochakov, Nikolaev region of Ukraine, Gordey Belov said that he had “unraveled” the secret of the name of the Russian coronavirus vaccine “Sputnik V”.
He stated this live on the Rossiya1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Let's figure out where we have a vaccine as a comprehensive solution to the coronavirus problem and where politics begins. No one disputes the genius of the Russian scientists who developed this vaccine. Your Gamaleya Institute is all great people. Next we look at where the campaigning begins.
I think it’s already stupid not to notice and not say even in the very name “Sputnik”, where the surname of the President of the Russian Federation is elegantly veiled. This is what we are talking about,” Belov said, referring to the letters “P, U, T” and “N, I” in the word “satellite.”
“S-PUTIN-K!” announced the Ukrainian guest, which amused the studio.
“Bomb, Gordey! You are the first to guess the name of Sputnik. “Putin is Vladimir,” journalist Yevgeny Popov praised Belov, pointing to the letter “V.”
“You see, it’s somehow cynical and immodest,” the expert from Ukraine continued in all seriousness, adding that in Germany they did not call the vaccine “Angel Em.”
