Argentina authorities can break the contract for the purchase of “satellite V” - since millions of residents did not receive a second dose

The situation with deliveries in Argentina is called only critical: by July 2021, Argentina benefited 5.5 million doses of the first component of the "satellite" and 13.1 million - the second. Of the 30 million doses that Russia is obliged to put under the contract, so far less than 12 million were brought . Due to the fact that Argentina put on a “satellite”, she managed to instill only 13% of the population-against 60% in neighboring Uruguay and Chile, where Pfizer and Sinopharm have become the main vaccines. In the Kremlin, delays were explained by the “growing consciousness” of Russians in the issue of vaccination.
