WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Russia is open for cooperation with the United States in fighting the coronavirus pandemic and will be ready to share a vaccine against the disease, Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov said at an event hosted by a Washington think tank.

"It seems to me that we shouldn’t try to launch competition on this issue. We should unite our efforts. If we have a vaccine that could protect Americans, we are ready to share with you," Antonov said at the Brookings Institution online event on Wednesday.
Russia emerged as a leader in vaccine development with two of its products, Sputnik V, developed by Moscow’s Gamaleya Institute, and EpiVacCorona, developed by Siberia's research center Vector, are completing Phase 3 clinical trials. On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the government to start mass vaccination by the end of the next week.
Antonov reaffirmed Russia’s aspirations to have better relations with the US. ..........https://sputniknews.com/russia/20201...---ambassador/

I wonder what their real motivations are, assuming that their vaccine actually works.

I am sure our Big Pharma would be happy to sell Russia our vaccines once the American who want it get theirs.
