Switzerland has taken note of the results of the presidential elections in Russia. The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs regrets that no OSCE election observer mission was invited, as it announced on Monday evening.
Relations with the Russian authorities will continue within the framework of international law, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) stated in response to an inquiry from the Keystone-SDA news agency.
The department once again condemned the so-called elections in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine. Switzerland does not recognize the annexation of Ukrainian territories by Russia. This constitutes a serious violation of the sovereignty and inviolability of the territory of Ukraine.
