The Russian foreign ministry is criticising the Swiss president and this country’s neutral position during the war in Ukraine.
The Russian embassy in Bern tweeted its displeasure after Ignazio Cassis gave an interview to a Luxembourg newspaper in which he said the attack on Ukraine marked the end of an era since the Second World War.
A Russian spokeswoman says the post war consensus was broken when NATO dropped bombs in Yugoslavia in 1999 and then criticised the Swiss reaction to the discovery of mass graves in the Ukrainian town of Bucha. She says Switzerland ignored the Russian position that the crimes were committed by Ukrainian forces.
Cassis has been calling for an international court to investigate the killings in Bucha.
