Russian President Vladimir Putin noted the significant contribution of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) in the fight against coronavirus.
"The RDIF is making a significant contribution to the fight against covid: there are test systems and the promotion of vaccines, including in global markets," the head of state said at a meeting Friday with the RDIF head Kirill Dmitriev.
During the conversation, Putin also noted the effectiveness of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine "against all variants" of the coronavirus known so far. Dmitriev confirmed this information, stressing that "this has been proven about the British mutation" and a very large number of other coronavirus mutations.
The same, according to Putin, applies to domestic test systems for detecting covid. "They also 'take' almost all of these mutation variants, they detect them," the Russian president remarked. "Yes, absolutely," the head of RDIF stressed.
