Reported Russian Covid vaccine disinformation 'reprehensible' - UK's Raab

LONDON: British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said on Friday a reported

Russian disinformation campaign

to undermine

Covid-19 vaccine trials

was "

reprehensible

" at a time when

countries

should be coming together.


"We know that Russia has a track record in this area," he told Sky News when asked about a Times newspaper report that there was a Russian campaign to undermine an Oxford University

vaccine

trial.

"Anyone trying to basically sabotage the efforts of those trying to develop a vaccine are deeply reprehensible, and it's pretty unacceptable and unjustified in any circumstances."
