“In connection with the incident, the embassy is sending a note of protest to the Federal Department (Ministry) of Foreign Affairs of the Swiss Confederation demanding that urgent measures be taken to identify and punish those responsible,” the Russian diplomatic mission said in a statement.
Diplomats condemned the manifestation of vandalism and stressed that the embassy considers these actions as another example of "Russophobia that has swept Europe", which also manifests itself in Switzerland.
