Author Calls Russia’s Support InterferenceAccording to the article, Maria Zakharova backs the SVP neutrality initiative as its referendum campaign begins.
- According to the article, Russia explicitly supports the SVP initiative to enshrine permanent, armed and comprehensive neutrality in the constitution.
- Zakharova bases her position on the Federal Council’s adoption of EU sanctions, while the article places that policy within the UN Charter and the Embargo Act.
- The Russian embassy in Bern had previously criticized the Swiss government’s foreign-policy powers in a report, which the author assesses as part of a Russian influence operation.
- The article says the Federal Council is currently holding back, while the SVP grassroots and the Swiss electorate face a decision by the end of September.
