Swiss Senate calls on the cabins to spend Russian assets on Ukraine. Council of Cantons adopted, by 21 votes against 19 with 3 abstentions, a series of similar proposals from the National Council.
Earlier, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that freezing sovereign Russian assets is an ill-calculated step on the part of Western countries.
