U.S. Sanctions Russian Vaccine Agency, What Does Russia Say About It?

The United States is a superpower, he has long practiced unilateralism and hegemony, and often goes to other countries to sanction them, why does he have the ability to bully other countries? Because the U.S. is an international financial center, the money in the U.S. stock market accounts for 1/3 of the global stock market, and the U.S. dollar is the international currency in circulation, and it is the necessary currency for every country to conduct overseas trade. The United States can freeze the dollar assets of a hostile country and create an economic crisis for that country. And this time, he turned the spear on Russia, what is going on?

First, the U.S. sanctioned the Russian vaccine agency

According to Rosatom 27, the U.S. Department of Commerce on Wednesday (26) put five Russian research institutions on the sanctions list. The list includes the Russian Defense Ministry's 48th Central Scientific Research Institute, the 33rd Central Research and Testing Institute, and the National Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology. All of these institutions are suspected by the United States of engaging in chemical and biological weapons research, which means that they will be subject to export, re-export and transfer restrictions imposed by the U.S. government in accordance with existing regulations.

II. Russia's attitude

On August 11th. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the first neocoronavirus vaccine had been registered. And more than $54 million has been donated for neocoronavirus research, and the Russian Ministry of Health said the vaccine has passed all necessary tests and has been shown to build immunity to the virus. But many Western countries have questioned the vaccine, claiming it? unproven and unsafe? In response, Russia's health minister countered that all foreign criticism was motivated by fear of fair play, and he slammed the accusations as baseless.

Third, the real purpose of the sanctions

I think it's because the U.S. lost the race to develop the world's first vaccine for the neocoronavirus and is unwilling to admit its defeat on the number of neocoronavirus infections and death rates that rank it first in the world. Previously, Russia had announced that 27 countries had formally asked Russia to provide them with a vaccine, and while the Russian vaccine could have saved several others from neo-coronavirus, it would have been contrary to U.S. interests.
