Swiss embassy in Kyiv to re-open

The Swiss embassy in Kyiv will reopen - two and a half months after it was closed.

The foreign minister, Ignazio Cassis, says the ambassador Claude Wild will return with a team of four. The local Ukrainian staff keep their jobs. 
But if the situation deteriorates, plans are in place for a quick evacuation. 

While Kyiv was closed, the embassies in Moldova and Romania took over consular functions for Ukraine.
