The Russian Foreign Ministry summoned the Swiss Ambassador and protested to her. It is noted that if the Swiss side confiscates Russian state assets, Moscow's retaliatory measures will be inevitable.
Swiss senators previously voted for the country's government to use about $8.5 billion in frozen funds from the Russian Central Bank to rebuild Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed that Russia intends to act individually in each specific case of confiscation of its frozen assets by Western countries. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Swiss Ambassador Christina Marti Lang.
