BREAKING: Austria set to order one million doses of Russia’s Sputnik V Covid vaccine

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is in the process of concluding a deal with Russia to import one million doses of the Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine.
Austria will become just the second European Union member to administer the Sputnik V vaccine, after Hungary.

Kurz said on Wednesday evening “we are in the closing stages and an order for Sputnik V can probably be placed next week”.

Kurz said on social media he was “very happy about the binding delivery promise” he made with Russia’s ambassador Dmitrij Lyubinsky.
