Switzerland
Even historically neutral Switzerland is adopting the EU's sanctions against Russia, President Ignazio Cassis announced Monday. The country, which is a major center for wealthy Russian oligarchs, said it's freezing the assets of certain individuals "with immediate effect."
The sanctions and asset freeze will apply to Putin, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Switzerland affirmed its commitment to neutrality and said it will examine further EU sanctions on a "case-by-case basis."
"Russia's unprecedented military attack on a sovereign European country was the deciding factor in the Federal Council's decision to change its previous stance on sanctions," a
statement said.
