Russia and Argentina are in dispute over the Russian Sputnik V vaccine. The dispute has reached the point when officials started voicing threats in public. The Argentines are threatening to terminate the contract for the supplies of the Sputnik vaccine while asking Russia not to consider it a threat.  Argentina is one of the most obvious examples to prove the international success of Russia's Sputnik V vaccine.
