  1. “We would consider this mode of discussing this issue within the Council to be optimal. In conclusion, we are forced to respond to the statement made by one delegation, which insists on continuing to use practically every meeting of the Security Council to attack our country. We have repeatedly provided clarifications with regard to the special military operation in Ukraine, and we do not intend to return to this topic now.”

  2. “Refugees can access COVID-19 testing at accommodation centres and medical facilities, and, if they wish, they can also be vaccinated with the vaccines used in our country or receive free treatment for COVID-19 on an equal footing with Russian citizens. We are continuing to work on improving our response to the novel coronavirus infection at the research and development level as well. Therefore, at the beginning of this month, a nasal form of the Sputnik V vaccine was registered in Russia. It is to be administered using a special spray nozzle. We would like to note that, according to resolution 2565 (2020), information on its implementation should necessarily be provided — and it should also be an option — as part of the ordinary reporting of the special representatives of the Secretary-General, where and when that is required.”

  3. “Other factors that deserve attention include delays in national and international approval of anti-COVID-19 drugs, expanding access to technology and supply chains, and combating disinformation and vaccine hesitancy. For its part, Russia also possesses experience in helping to combat COVID-19 in difficult conditions. Indeed, we have delivered millions of doses of vaccines and testing systems to foreign countries, including countries on the Council’s agenda, for example, to colleagues in the Syrian Arab Republic. According to the latest data, our country is currently hosting more than 730,000 citizens of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics and Ukraine.”

  4. “We also hope that it will be possible to swiftly set up the work of the so-called humanitarian buffer, which is focused on the most vulnerable categories of recipients, as part of the framework of the multilateral COVAX mechanism. It would be interesting to hear the briefers’ opinion on how to address problems hindering this process, particularly the legal issue of indemnities. Unfortunately, as is traditionally the case, we did not hear any analyses or assessments of how the goal of achieving universal vaccination is affected by unlawful unilateral economic coercive measures that undermine the health systems and economies of the countries affected. We regret to note that this topic continues to receive a lack of attention in the Council, which does nothing to improve the situation.”

  5. “We also welcome the establishment by the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and the Gavi Alliance and their COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership, which is designed to strengthen the coordination of relevant efforts. This is especially important given that logistical issues and the ability of national health systems to ensure that received vaccine doses are administered are problems that are now coming to the fore, primarily as a result of an unprecedented number of illegal sanctions. In this regard, we trust that by improving the coordination and effectiveness of these activities, it will be possible to increase the vaccination rates in the 25 countries most in need where vaccination coverage currently does not exceed 10 per cent.”

  6. “Mr. Varganov (Russian Federation) (spoke in Russian): Today’s briefing on the topic of vaccination in the context of armed conflicts, post-conflict situations and complex humanitarian crises is a timely one. We thank the briefers for their useful overview of the global situation in terms of ensuring universal immunization against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the most challenging conditions, as well as recommendations for improvements on this track. In the light of the responsibilities of the Security Council and the guidance provided by its resolutions 2532 (2020) and 2565 (2021), we would like to acknowledge the efforts of the United Nations Department of Operational Support aimed at organizing a proper vaccination campaign among peacekeepers.”
