BUDAPEST (Reuters) – Hungary’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that Hungary has received a draft contract for the purchase of Russia’s Sputnik V COVID vaccine, just before he visits Moscow later this week.

Peter Szijjarto said in a statement that, if Hungarian regulators approve the use of the Sputnik V vaccine, a contract can be signed.
