Swiss president visits Ukraine to discuss food security and support

Swiss President Alain Berset travelled to Ukraine to attend the international summit on food security and meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, reports Unian.

Berset stated, "The focus is on the impact of Russia's aggressive war on global food security and on Switzerland's long-term support for Ukraine."

Previously, the head of the Swiss Federal Council expressed his conviction that joining the European Union's sanctions against Russia does not contradict its neutrality policy. This position contrasts with the situation in which the country would help to circumvent them.

Berse noted that Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine has violated all principles of international law under the UN Charter.

It is worth noting that Switzerland has also supported the creation of a special tribunal to prosecute Russian war crimes.
