President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine now has “almost everything” to counter the COVID-19 pandemic.

He stated this during his Annual Address to the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine’s parliament, on the Internal and External Situation of Ukraine, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"We have been fighting COVID-19 for two years already. We started with almost nothing – and it's true. Now we have almost everything, almost. Hospitals, beds, oxygen, and most importantly – vaccines," said Zelensky.
