Russia Helps to Fight COVID-19 in Algeria

According to Russian diplomatic sources, the Russian Federation provided technical and medical aid to Algeria to fight the COVID-19 epidemic. Through the last week of April the aid shipments by two planes of the Algerian Air Force and one charter plane brought a substantial amount of coveralls for medical personnel, thermometers, surgical masks, multi-layer masks, sampling kits, and tests. The Russian defense export-import agency Rosoboronexport which is in charge of military co-operation with Algeria and other MENA nations sponsored these charity operations. This mission was carried out despite the absence of air links between two nations.

Two weeks ago Rosoboronexport export donated USD 2 million to the Indian PM Narendra Modi National Fund to fight COVID-19 in the Republic of India.

The aid was also provided to Italy and USA- the nations who imposed various economic sanctions on Russia. The global fight against COVID-19 require to change the «Cold War» thinking.
