President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues.
Today, it appears that the agenda of the meeting with permanent members of the Security Council deals with purely peaceful matters, specifically, healthcare. However, efforts to guarantee the sovereignty and security of Russia, especially linked with medication supplies, do not amount to empty talk in current conditions.
Ms Golikova, the floor is yours.
