Lavrov slams allegation Russian spies stole AstraZeneca formula
Al Jazeera
Russian foreign minister says ‘unfounded’ claim made in a popular British tabloid newspaper will not be taken seriously.
Claims in the British press that Russian spies stole the blueprint for the British-made Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine are unfounded, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
An October 10 article in The Sun newspaper, a popular daily tabloid, recently alleged that Russian spies “stole” the formula of the vaccine, developed by UK-Swedish company AstraZeneca, to create Russia’s Sputnik V jab.
The paper cited anonymous security sources in its brief, 339-word, story.
