MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia will accept an offer by U.S. President Donald Trump to ship ventilators to the country if its efforts to contain an outbreak of the novel coronavirus require them, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
Russia has so far recorded 27,938 cases and 232 coronavirus-related deaths.
A Russian military plane earlier this month delivered ventilators and other medical supplies to New York after Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump spoke by phone.
