MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 22nd October, 2020) Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that while the international community was trying to mobilize its efforts and forces to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, more could have been done.
"In confronting this [COVID-19] threat, the international community is trying to take certain actions for its mobilization, and some things are already being done together.
