Ukraine hopes to vaccinate half of its 41-million population against coronavirus by early 2022, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday.

Zelenskiy said last week that Kyiv had secured a total of 20 million doses of vaccine from India's Serum Institute and the global COVAX scheme, adding that Ukraine is in talks with other countries, including Poland, about receiving some of their coronavirus vaccines.

Ukraine also expects to receive 5 million doses of vaccine from China's Sinovac. Zelenskiy said that the Sinovac vaccine was of good quality.
