Peru announced last October that it will not be able to receive the 20 million doses of the Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus, which it agreed to buy from the Gamaleya laboratory, due to production problems.
At the same time, the Peruvian authorities specified that the doses to which the Government promised were not paid, so the Russian side is not subject to any legal obligation to bring them on time.
