Vladimir Putin visits a hospital in Moscow
When a vaccination centre opened in a high-end department store on Red Square at the start of the year, Moscow residents were queuing up to get their dose of the Russian-produced Sputnik V.

The collaboration with AstraZeneca may help boost confidence in Sputnik V, amid scepticism over the speed of its rollout and the scope and transparency of data from clinical trials. Russiaâs defence ministry claims the vaccine is a victim of a foreign financed âinformation sabotageâ campaign.
