Russian embassy in Switzerland threatens journalist of Swiss newspaper

www.swissinfo.ch Swiss foreign ministry denounces Russian embassy statement

The foreign ministry summoned the Russian ambassador on Thursday to complain about “unacceptable” threats towards a Swiss journalist.

The Swiss government was responding to a statement by the Russian embassy regarding the work of a Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) journalist covering the war in Ukraine. In Russia, wrote the embassy, the journalist’s coverage was liable to land him a financial penalty, a prison term, or a period of forced labour.
