"Now, we have enough vaccines. After our talks with Russia, the Sputnik V vaccine is delivered to our country. If necessary, we can even talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin. We will hold talks with the Russian President on this issue in the first half of May. We can get the current number with the arrival of a significant amount of vaccine from Russia.
