Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that Switzerland is not only in solidarity with the West’s policy towards Ukraine, but also supports Kiev ideologically. She said it on the radio Sputnik.
“There are no contractual obligations. These weapons are not for sale. There are weapons supplies. For some countries, this happens as a result of blackmail … This shows that the collective West, as a party to this conflict, is brutally involved in the conflict over Ukraine, ”the diplomat said.
Zakharova emphasized that this is precisely the policy supported by Switzerland at the moment. According to him, Bern did not express his “specific” view on Ukraine based on facts or priorities that required a reconsideration of the position. The Swiss authorities were in full political solidarity with the Western leaders, providing material and technical support to Kiev and supporting its “Nazi essence”.
In this regard, Zakharova emphasized that now Switzerland, including Western journalists, writes that it has left neutrality.
