Switzerland has decided to extend its sanctions lists to synchronize with the EU’s 18th package of measures against Russia. The focus is on oil exports, which represent the main source of income for the Russian government. This action is intended to exert financial pressure on Moscow.
The Swiss government stated that the measures are part of a broader effort to isolate Russia economically and reduce its ability to fund its military operations. These sanctions are in line with the EU’s strategy to cut off key revenue streams for the Russian state. Swiss officials emphasized that the move is a strategic decision to ensure compliance with international norms and to support global efforts to counteract Russian aggression.
