Vladimir Zelensky is actively being treated for COVID-19. However, illness is not a reason for a politician to forget about work, and even more so about the needs of his big country.
Vladimir Zelensky
Recently it became known that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is sick with coronavirus. Despite this, the head of the country continues to work in isolation – because of the symptoms he still has only fever and general weakness.
So, last Monday, Zelensky held a conference call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Politicians discussed many important issues, including those related to the course of the pandemic.
According to , Volodymyr Aleksandrovich asked the chancellor to help stabilize the state of Ukraine during the epidemic and help the country gain access to the German vaccine.
Along with scientists from other countries, German and American specialists are now working together to develop a drug that protects against coronavirus. And it seems that the tool will soon be ready for use.
“We welcome the breakthrough achieved by the German firm BioNTech together with the American company Pfizer in the development of a coronavirus vaccine. This is very encouraging news. I would ask for your assistance in taking into account the interests of Ukraine when planning the supply of vaccines against coronavirus, ”Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in the conversation.
In Ukraine, as in other countries, the situation with COVID-19 is not at all happy. According to open data, almost 10 thousand people have been diagnosed with the virus every day.
It is not yet known how many more countries apply for this vaccine – and how much it will cost. It is quite possible that Ukraine will become one of the first powers to be helped by Germany. In the meantime, Angela Merkel wished Vladimir Zelensky a speedy recovery – and strength to work in such a difficult period.
