"Meanwhile, work is ongoing to provide the country, our hospitals and pharmacies with everything necessary. Tomorrow 200,000 PCR tests of domestic production will be shipped and sent to the regions of Ukraine. In general, there are orders for two million PCR tests made in Ukraine. Also we expect 200 ventilators from the Ukrainian manufacturer by the end of May," Zelensky said in a video address posted on the Facebook page of the President's Office.
Among other things, this week 360,000 respirators and 800,000 reagents for PCR tests were delivered to Ukraine. "Today we have a joyous event - our An-225, our legendary Mriya landed in Hostomel. The aircraft delivered over 12 million masks, as well as hundreds of thousands of suits and glasses," Zelensky noted.
In general, during the fight against COVID-19, Antonov aircrafts delivered more than two thousand tonnes of different cargoes to Ukraine, America, Europe and the Middle East. "The contribution and important role of Ukraine in the fight against coronavirus is positively appreciated by the whole world," the president added.
