Switzerland took note of the position of the Russian Foreign Ministry that Bern cannot represent the interests of Ukraine in Russia, transmits TASS with reference to the official representative of the Swiss Foreign Ministry, Pierre Alain Elchinger.
“The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs has taken note of the statement of the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry,” Elchinger said. According to him, no additional information on this issue will be provided at the moment.
On August 10, the Swiss Foreign Ministry announced that the country had reached an agreement with Ukraine on the issue of representation – Bern could represent Kyiv’s interests in Russia if Moscow agreed to such a step.
Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry Ivan Nechaev, in turn, said that Bern could not represent the interests of Kyiv in Moscow, since Switzerland had lost its neutral status, joining the anti-Russian sanctions.
“Bern supports the anti-people Nazi regime in Kyiv, participates in an aggressive Russophobic campaign launched by the West and Ukraine, how such behavior can offer mediation, representation or other good offices is completely incomprehensible,” Nechaev noted.
On February 24, with the start of the special operation, Ukraine severed diplomatic relations with Russia.
