Ukraine is forbidden to develop its own vaccines - expert

Ukraine will not be able to develop its vaccine against COVID-19 for several reasons, Director of the Heart Institute of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine Boris Todrov said on May 15 on the 112.ua TV channel. According to him, the first reason is the absence of a state order for such development, as well as the corresponding financing. There should be a state order, a system approach There is no state order for the development of tests, there is no state order for the development of a vaccine, he said. Todurov expressed doubts about Ukraine's ability to develop such a vaccine. According to him, during the time of President Leonid Kuchma Ukraine was banned from developing its vaccines. The fact is that Ukraine has signed a memorandum on the non-proliferation of bacteriological weapons and today Ukraine has no right to develop its vaccines Ukraine is forbidden to do so. In our laboratories it is forbidden to develop vaccines, the expert said.
