Russian President Vladimir Putin wished Donald Trump a
speedy recovery in a telegram on Friday, saying he was sure the US
leader’s qualities would help him fight off the
coronavirus.
“I am convinced that your vitality, good spirits and optimism
will help you cope with this dangerous virus,” the Kremlin quoted
Putin as saying in the message.
Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov had earlier wished Trump “a
speedy and easy recovery” on behalf of the Kremlin.
Peskov said Putin was considering whether to be vaccinated
against the coronavirus, after Russia announced in August that it
had developed a vaccine named “Sputnik V” after the historic
Soviet-era satellite.

“When he does it, we will announce it,” Peskov said.
Russia has prided itself on registering the world’s first
coronavirus vaccine, although it is still undergoing large-scale
clinical trials after promising results in early trials.
Numerous high-profile figures including Defence Minister Sergei
Shoigu and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin have already had the
vaccine.
In a speech to the United Nations last month, Putin offered to
inoculate those working at the international organisation for
free.
He earlier said that one of his daughters had been
vaccinated
