Switzerland adopted the fifth package of sanctions against Russia and Belarus

As noted, unlike the EU, the Swiss authorities did not impose restrictive measures on transport communications "due to the geographical position of the country."

200 people were subject to financial sanctions and travel restrictions.

On April 8, the European Union adopted the fifth package of anti-Russian sanctions in connection with the special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine.

In accordance with it, from August 2022, the EU introduces a ban on the import of coal and other solid fossil fuels if they are exported from Russia.

Russian Permanent Representative to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov, on the air of the Russia 24 TV channel, expressed the opinion that Europe is close to the limit on introducing new restrictions against Russia.
