Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev has said he has been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus. I was vaccinated two months ago with one of Russian vaccines, Medvedev told Russian media in an interview. He explained he did not disclose the name of the vaccine so as not create an impression one vaccine is better than the others. Vaccination is always a very personal affair. It takes blood tests and requires the understanding of the immunity status of your body (which depends on age, regrettably, and on gender - as is known, men have greater problems with getting through the coronavirus infection - and on a number of other factors), Medvedev said.

No preparations for a summit meeting of the UN Security Council’s quintet (the five permanent members) are on track at the moment, but some work on this issue is afoot, in the US as well, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said. No preparations are in progress at the moment, but in general the question was discussed in the telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Joe Biden, he said. The American counterparts said they would work on it. Well, may they go ahead, TASS cited him as saying.
Medvedev is certain that such a meeting, proposed by President Putin, will certainly make sense, because it would bring together countries that have major influence on world processes, victors in World War II and permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Russia may file a lawsuit over the hindrances other countries have been posing to the gas pipeline project Nord Stream 2, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said. If there are reasons for this, it goes without saying the issue may be taken to court, Medvedev said. But I believe that the stance taken by the leaders of states and business leaders is far more important. They are to have their say.
Asked what court Russia might take the case to, Medvedev remarked that it might be a national court or contract jurisdiction court. Apparently, it might be possible to go to a U.S. court, but such litigation will take much time and we have no certainty that an American court will be impartial, TASS cited Medvedev as saying.
