Not enough: Putin has recognized deficit and raising medicine prices in

According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia is almost produced by modern medicines. On Tuesday, January 24, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin announced a shortage of some medicines in Russian pharmacies. About it writes the TASS news agency. "The fact is that, first, prices have grown up to us lately and there has been some deficiency about some drugs," the Russian president said.

At the same time, Vladimir Putin claims that production growth is observed in the Russian pharmaceutical industry. "For three quarters last year, it was approximately 22%, and 60% of our already domestic drugs. However, the deficit was formed by some drugs, and prices grew," Putin said. Vladimir Putin added that 60% of drugs in Russian pharmacies were made in the Russian Federation.

According to the President of Russia, this is indicated by the results of a sample inspection conducted in the country's trade and pharmacy networks. The Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine reported in the Russian Federation in November last November. The lack of sanctions and European countries imposed on the Russian Federation in response to its military aggression against Ukraine.

According to Ukrainian intelligence, due to lack of medication, some surgical interventions in Russian hospitals are carried out indefinitely. GUR also noted that the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation issued a decree to create an inviolable stock of medicines for four months. The department associates this decision with the fact that the Russian Federation almost produces modern medicines.

Focus also wrote that some wounded in the war in Ukraine fighters from the Wagner group were treated at a clinic in St. Petersburg, connected with the daughter of Russian President Maria Vorontsova. In the same medical institution, people from the immediate surroundings of Vladimir Putin were received.
