In the week, the theme of the Ukrainian crisis continued to be in the center of an alarming geopolitical agenda. The concentration of the Russian contingent near the Donbass is only increasing, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg emphasized after negotiations with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Brussels on Thursday: “There are no signs of the cessation or slowdown in the transfer of Russian troops. Their extension, on the contrary, continues. ”
Without encouraging changes and on the diplomatic part of the front. The lips of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Grushko, who visited the week at the Solovyov Live , the Russian Foreign Ministry declares its readiness for the “regime of creation of counterattacks” if the West does not make concessions to Moscow on the issue of NATO expansion.
“In this case, we set out everything very honestly, openly, on paper,” said the Midovo official. - And, by the way, this is very important from a political point of view - to throw a stone into this swamp . It is necessary that, finally, Europeans think, if they do not want to turn their continent into the arena of such a military confrontation [...] they have two ways. In a seriously, we take the fact that we put on the table, or deal with the military-technical alternative . ”

Perhaps someone will see in such a passage the ex-post of the Russian Federation at NATO in Brussels (and, by the way, the son of the First Deputy Chairman of the KGB of the USSR) an unequivocal threat to begin military operations if something does not go according to the Moscow scenario. However, let's not forget that in addition to Grushko, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is nine more. One of them, Sergei Ryabkov, conciliatively assured Interfax that Russia was “not talking to the Ultimatumov language with anyone”, and only within the framework of the proposed draft agreements with the United States and the agreement on security guarantees with NATO demands that the alliance radically revise its concept of expansion to the east and actually return to the borders of 1997. It is difficult to say what kind of reaction to such proposals was expected by the Foreign Ministry, but the one that is, does not suit him.
“We are ready for negotiations on this base,” Ryabkov complained, “but so far we only see that our proposals are rejected under far -fetched prepositions” / “The idea of a new conference, where we re -discuss areas of influence in which the great powers could control what their neighbors can and cannot do, would force us to retreat, and this is not the right direction [...] we will never discuss the safety of our allies or the right of each one The nations, including Ukraine, decide its own fate, ”the Stoltenberg alliance indicated the position of the LE Journal Du Dimanche alliance .

Meanwhile, in a different part of the spectrum of effective Russian diplomacy, it is emphasized by the peaceful - vaccine, much progress is also not visible. Attempts to achieve international recognition “satellite V” are still inconclusive. Recall that the WHO expert group revealed violations in the production of the drug in Ufa six months ago. Since then, the virus has undergone a serious mutation, and in this light the effectiveness of the Russian vaccine began to cause new questions. At the week Bloomberg wrote about a study by the University of Washington and the Swiss pharmaceutical company Humabs Biomed SA, which showed that the “satellite V” (along with the Chinese Sinopharm and the American Johnson & Johnson) do not develop a sufficient amount of antibodies against Omicron. In response, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIPI) made a statement of the opposite content, noting the expectation of “strong protection against infection and the severe course of the disease with Omicron-Stamm”, and also insisting that it is not terrible 100% revaccinated by the “Light satellite”.
“We need to get the appropriate certificate from the World Health Organization as soon as possible so that our satellite V vaccine has the opportunity to spread more widely in the world,” President Putin recalled the other day. Until now, it was assumed at the top that multi -month wires in this process, as well as indirectly associated with it, the EU’s unpreparedness to allow the use of “satellite V” on its territory - proof of the Western policy of double standards, which are tirelessly lamented in Moscow.
Vladimir Putin : “This happens, including because of the unscrupulous, I believe, competition, protectionism, the unwrittenness of a number of states, including twenty states, to the mutual recognition of vaccines and vaccine certificates.”
The official representative of the Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova : “This is a hybrid of racism, imperial hegemonism and neo -Nazism: whole nations are denied equal rights and opportunities, doing this contrary to laws, ethics and morality, pushing the world to confront at the moment when it passes the most difficult tests of pandemia”
The head of the Hamalea Center Alexander Ginzburg : “The vaccination campaign showed that the“ satellite V ”brilliantly copes with the protection of the body from a wide range of coronavirus strains. However, EMA officials (European agency of medicines. - Republic ) and partly do not want to see this. ”
Meanwhile, at the end of October, Reuters, citing a source, reported that the European regulator lacks data about the drug. The same situation with WHO-this week it was commented by the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, who, for some reason, decided not to leave the answer to the question on which the process the process skidded in the particular side:
“Indeed, we have not yet provided some information that needs to be provided for certification, because we had a different understanding of what exactly the information should be and how it should be provided.” / In an interview with RT, this version was confirmed by the official representative of the WHO Margaret Harris: “We are still evaluating the technical dossier to the satellite V vaccine and are waiting for additional information.”
“We do not see the reasons for WHO to postpone the approval of the vaccine,” the head of the RDPI Kirill Dmitriev is optimistic . “The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation maintains very good relations with WHO, and we understand that the obstacles that still exist along this path are insignificant and are purely bureaucratic.”

On the “very fast” decision, Dmitriev, recall, was counting on in mid -October. The fund expected the approval of the vaccine by the International Institute in the next couple of months - without pointing attention to the more strange conflict around the failure to provide requested documents about the drug. In WHO itself, they plan to visit the Russian Federation only after the New Year. The continuation of the series is waiting in January. In fresh chronicles of hospitalism :
