In Russia, called counterproductive US exit from WHO

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov called the US withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) counterproductive in an interview with parliamentary television Duma TV. This decision seems counterproductive to us. It reflects the same course of unilateral action by the negligent and ignoring priorities and approaches of many other members of the international community, he said. According to Ryabkov, the decision of the US administration, which was made in a difficult epidemiological situation, will not bring any benefit, and, on the contrary, will further weaken the organization. Earlier, the representative of the German government, Martina Fitz, called the US decision to withdraw from the WHO a blow to the system of international cooperation.
