On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin told the United Nations General Assembly that the World Health Organisation (WHO) needed to become stronger to organize a global response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Putin told the assembly:

“We are proposing to hold an online high-level conference shortly for countries interested in cooperation in the development of anti-coronavirus vaccines,”

“We are ready to share experience and continue cooperating with all states and international entities, including in supplying the Russian vaccine which has proved reliable, safe, and effective, to other countries,”

During the Assembly, Putin also called for a high-level conference on coronavirus vaccine cooperation.

Putin gave Russia approval for a coronavirus vaccine before the completion of large-scale trials, becoming the first country to do so.
