President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela announced that Russia will deliver the Sputnik-V jab to some 10 million people, saying he hopes to finish the first round of vaccinations in the first three months of 2021.

Announcing the deal in a televised speech on Tuesday, Maduro said that the vaccine would be "distributed free of charge to the entire population living in the country, be they Columbians, Portueguese, Italians, Venezuelans," while taking aim at Colombia's plan to exclude some 900,000 Venezuelan migrants from its own vaccination drive.
