Switzerland joins new sanctions against Russia

Switzerland has joined the 11th package of EU sanctions against Russia.

This is stated on the government website.

The country's Federal Council has banned 87 Russian companies from exporting dual-use goods. Among them are companies from third countries that delivered such goods to Russia. 

The country has expanded the list of goods subject to the export ban. In particular, electronic components and precursors for chemical weapons.

Switzerland has also banned the transfer of intellectual property rights or trade secrets for various goods to Russia so that goods that cannot be delivered to Russia are not produced there.

The transit of aviation fuel and fuel additives through Russia is prohibited.

In addition, Switzerland extended its ban on selling securities to Russians, regardless of the currency in which they are denominated.
