It is an adeno virus derived vaccine that works against the covid spikes.
In other words, using technology that has been used in other vaccines and known to work.
The US, UK, China vaccines use a similar technology.
These vaccines all induced antibodies and T cell response,
The article is about the sucess of the phase 2 trial of the Russian vaccine (the article points out the UK vaccine saw similar results inteir phase 2 trial, results released in July)..
Giving it out to increase it's geopolitical influence. Before phase 3 testing, but never mind.
People in poor countries are dying, and there is a big worry that the US and Europe will use the vaccine first for their own people.
Better a questionable vaccine from Russia than watching your people die waiting for the west.
Mexico might use it for example
As for the Philippines? They prefer the US vaccine but are also considering the cheaper more easily available Russian vaccine, or even the Chinese vaccine if there is no other alternative.
