Earlier, The Washington Post journalist Ishan Tarur predicted global success for Russia thanks to the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine. He pointed out that the West underestimated the Russian development, but the proven advantages of the drug after publication in the scientific medical journal Lancet fueled the interest of states in the Russian vaccine. Among them were the countries of the European Union, where immunization of the population is delayed due to a lack of vaccines.
The Russian drug “Sputnik V” became the world's first registered vaccine based on the human adenovirus. Currently, the development of Russian scientists is among the ten best vaccine candidates in the list of the World Health Organization (WHO). 12 countries have already approved the use of Sputnik V on their territory.
