Zelensky calls on Switzerland to block Russian assets

He said this during a conversation with the university community and public figures of Switzerland, according to the president's press service.

"I would very much like Switzerland to be able to block Russian assets, so that we could absolutely fairly receive compensation for the occupation of Ukrainian territories and for the aggression that Russia committed against Ukraine," Zelensky said.

The president called on the citizens of Switzerland to convey the truth about the events in Ukraine to Europe.

"It is important to tell what is happening so that support for Ukraine does not decrease. For this, people can come to Ukraine and see with their own eyes what is happening here," he said.

Zelensky also invited the Swiss to participate in volunteer support for our country and join the implementation of the Fast Recovery Plan.

"The academic year has begun, many schools and universities have been bombed, and they need to be repaired and restored. Both finance and technical assistance are needed here," he said.

The president stressed that there should be no place for neutrality in the issue of the struggle between good and evil.

As Ukrinform reported, the Federal Council of Switzerland on September 16 suspended a simplified visa regime with Russia, following a similar decision by the European Union.
