The Ukrainian authorities pursue the delivery of additional PCR test systems, respirators, masks, rapid tests and ventilators to Ukraine from China, South Korea and other countries this week.

“Active and continuous work is underway to bring additional PCR test systems, respirators, masks, rapid tests and ventilators to Ukraine from China, South Korea and many other countries already this week,” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address on Monday, the press service of the Head of State reports.

The President reminded that the first cargo plane from China had landed in Boryspil yesterday, having delivered to Ukraine polymerase chain reaction test systems, rapid tests, ventilators, masks, protective suits and much more.

According to Zelensky, this is only the first batch of what Ukraine really needs.

This cargo will be distributed throughout the regions of our country and provided to hospitals, laboratories, pharmacies, police, border guards and our military, the President added.
