Russiaâs Sputnik V vaccine has yet to win EU regulatory approval and is likely to play little part in the blocâs rollout, but it has already achieved what some observers say is one of its objectives â sowing division among, and within, member states.
âSputnik V has become a tool of soft power for Russia,â said Michal Baranowski, a fellow with a US thinktank, the German Marshall Fund of the United States. âItâs planted its flag on the vaccine and the political goal of its strategy is to divide the west.â
Sputnikâs makers say the shot has been approved in 61 countries and exported to 40. But safety concerns linger, and many EU leaders are sceptical of Russiaâs intentions when it has administered fewer than 19m doses to its population of 144 million.

BEIRUT: Lebanese President Michel Aoun has approved an exceptional loan of up to LBP300 billion ($197 million) for the state electricity company to import fuel before supplies run out, according to an official statement.
His approval came days before the country was due to experience a total power blackout.
The hours for electricity rationing in various regions reached minimum levels on Monday morning, with supply to some areas no longer exceeding half an hour a day, and there were increased protests from people after generator owners hiked their service tariffs so that bills became more than LBP700,000 a month, whereas the minimum wage is LBP675,000 a month.
