Russia has ruled out any Swiss participation in brokering a peace in Ukraine.
At last week’s World Economic Forum’s meeting in Davos, the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked this country to organise talks.
The Russian ambassador, Sergei Garmonin, has told the newspaper, SonntagsZeitung, that Switzerland has followed the ‘anti-Russian line of the collective west’ and so has lost its role as a neutral mediator.
He says any talks without Moscow are doomed to fail.
He adds for any chance of peace, Ukraine must be a non-aligned country without nuclear weapons that respects human rights for all citizens and national groups on its territory.
