For many countries in Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans, buying COVID vaccines has thrown up similar issues to those that existed during the Cold War.

We spoke to @AllyCarragher and @joannahosa to shed light on the region. #HealthcareWeek.

Russia registered a jab way back in August 2020, but many scientists questioned whether it was being rushed out too quickly.

But when some saw that the Russians and Chinese vaccines were easier to obtain, they started to change their minds.

No matter how dire the need for vaccines, some former Soviet states haven't been able to look past feuds with Moscow, least surprisingly Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Belarus has welcomed Sputnik V vaccines with open arms.

The Serbian government says securing jabs wasn't a political matter. But when it comes to nations donating doses to those in need, @AllyCarragher says it 'has to be' political.

.@AllyCarragher says the Western Balkans region has been repeatedly sidelined in its EU path and the pandemic only exacerbated "the feeling that they have been forgotten".

bit.ly/3m9dCsq Image
The choice of who to buy vaccines from isn't the only decision that could affect countries in the long term, @AllyCarragher adds.

bit.ly/3m9dCsq Image
As the EU has struggled to make available European-manufactured vaccines, Russia already sent its Sputnik V to Hungary and Slovakia and offered to supply 50 million more doses to Europe.

🇭🇺 When Viktor Orban made his first posts on Twitter this week, one of them gave us a clue as to why Hungary's PM has chosen now to join the social media platform. cutt.ly/jBmFtD6
📱 With Hungarians generally preferring Facebook, there is seemingly little domestic motivation for Orban to join the rival platform.

cutt.ly/jBmFtD6
🇭🇺 Experts have told Euronews Orban's arrival points to the fact he is keen -- amid the fallout from Russia's war in Ukraine and a long-running dispute with Brussels over access to EU funds -- to influence opinion in the Anglo-Saxon world.

🇩🇰 When party leaders faced each other last week in the first TV debate of Denmark's election, they disagreed along familiar party lines.

But there was one subject which united left and right: a controversial plan to outsource asylum seekers to Rwanda.

🇬🇧 Although there is no formal agreement yet between the two countries, that is clearly the direction of travel, with the whole scheme looking very similar to a policy the UK government is trying to get off the ground - so far, unsuccessfully.
⚖️ Opponents argued that it is illegal and inhumane to send people thousands of miles to a country they don’t want to live in, and so far no flights have actually left the UK for Rwanda after legal interventions at the European Court of Human rights.

🇬🇧 The funeral on Monday of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II will see the biggest gathering of royalty this century - perhaps ever - in London.

So who is attending the funeral, and how are they related to Queen Elizabeth II, if at all? Here's our guide. 👇 cutt.ly/AVwLXaF
🇧🇪 King Philippe and Queen Mathilde will be representing Belgium at the funeral.

King Philippe's ancestor is King Leopold I, the first King of the Belgians, who was also Queen Victoria's uncle. And Queen Victoria was Queen Elizabeth II's great-great-grandmother.
🇩🇰 Denmark's Queen Margrethe II will be attending the funeral with her son Crown Prince Frederik.

Queen Margrethe II was a third cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and were descendants of both Queen Victoria and also King Christian X of Norway.

🇭🇺 Hungary is no longer a full democracy, MEPs have declared in a non-binding but highly symbolic report.

Instead, it should be considered a "hybrid regime of electoral autocracy" in which elections are regularly held without respecting democratic norms.
cutt.ly/cC4cu3X
🇪🇺 In their resolution, MEPs point the finger directly at Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and condemn his government's "deliberate and systematic efforts" to undermine the EU's core values.

🏳️‍🌈 They raise concerns about a long list of fundamental rights they believe to be under threat, including the electoral system, the independence of judiciary, media pluralism, LGBTIQ rights and the protection of minorities.

Here are the main takeaways.
cutt.ly/uC1YhdH
“Sanctions are here to stay”.

🇷🇺 Von der Leyen said Russian industry is in “tatters” because of the sanctions the EU has slapped on Moscow over the Ukraine war.

She assured that the EU won’t relent in its sanctions, despite fears that it might have to due to the energy crisis.
🇺🇦 The Commission chief also unveiled several proposals to align Ukraine with the single market, including by extending the European free-of-charge roaming area, and support its reconstruction, with €100 million to rebuild damaged schools.
