Arkadi Sharkov, who represents an expert club for economics and politics, stressed that “half of this money comes from our pockets – from the National Health Insurance Fund. The other half is European taxpayers’ money.”

He added that tension is now brewing among medical specialists on the question of who is “in front of” and who is “behind” the s-called front line.
