Deputy: Ukraine has lost hundreds of thousands of coronavirus tests
About 750 thousand Chinese coronavirus tests, delivered yesterday to Kyiv from Guangzhou, were “lost” on the way to Ukraine.
A member of the presidential faction “Servant of the People”, deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, Alexander Dubinsky, drew attention to this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
In his blog, Dubinsky accused the PR people of the party from which he became a member of the Rada of trying to justify the failure of the president’s promises, and also emphasized that the number of tests that arrived the day before would only be enough for a few days.
“The media workers of the OP [office of the president], obviously confident in their genius, began to pump up the topic that now the entire regional elite - governors, police chiefs and the SBU - will immediately snap up the tests that arrived at night for themselves and their friends. Moreover, they have already compiled some lists for this.
And they are spreading this topic in order to divert attention from the fact that they brought negligible tests. That along the way 750 thousand tests disappeared somewhere and that each region received only pitiful crumbs from the needs, which will only last for a few days,” Dubinsky wrote.
Odessa journalist Yuri Tkachev corrects the deputy’s data, recalling that earlier President Vladimir Zelensky promised to bring not one, but ten million tests from China.
“Colleagues mock Zelensky, who promised a million tests from China, but in practice there were 250 thousand. I thought: aren’t the sharks of the pen slandering our young president? Are the average person being deceived? I checked: they are deceiving. Zelensky promised 10 million tests. Such things,” Tkachev writes on his blog.
Let us remember that a few days ago, in his video address to the people, Zelensky said: “In the next 48 hours, we expect the arrival of ten million high-precision laboratory tests in Ukraine from China, which will be distributed throughout all corners of Ukraine.”
