Switzerland aligns with EU's sanctions against Russia
The Swiss administration has hopped back on board with the EU's anti-Russia sanctions, following suit on a list that includes numerous high-profile individuals, organizations, businesses, and nearly 190 vessels. This revelation comes from the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research, which has straight-up stated that these sanctions have been slapped on 17 individuals, 58 organizations, 31 companies, and 189 vessels.
It's no secret that Switzerland tends to mirror the EU's stance on sanctions against Russia. But here's the deal: the recent intensification of the EU's sanctions against Putin's pet project has raised eyebrows all around. Just take a gander at the EU's 17th sanctions package against Russia, and you'll find all sorts of restrictions, including asset freezes, visa bans, export restrictions on chemicals used in weapon production, and listings of companies and vessels involved in sanctions evasion.
These sanctions are typically aimed at Russian government officials, bigwigs, and entities connected to the Ukraine conflict. In fact, the EU has blacklisted no less than 189 shadow fleet vessels, plus companies implicated in sanctions violations. However, the hunt for specific Swiss government action on these sanctions didn't exactly yield a treasure trove of results within the provided search data.
So, if you're hankering for the gritty details of Swiss sanctions against Russia, your best bet is to dip into official Swiss government declarations or financial news sources. After all, knowledge is power!
