Russia is ready to run clinical trials in Ukraine of a COVID-19 vaccine combining its Sputnik V with a vaccine developed by AstraZeneca together with Oxford University, the head of Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) said on Saturday.

Russia’s autonomous RDIF, which is marketing the Sputnik V vaccine overseas, announced in December trials to test a mix of the AstraZeneca vaccine using the Sputnik V shot to determine if this can boost the effectiveness of the British drugmaker’s vaccine.
