On June 3, 2025, i.e. two weeks after the adoption of the 17th package of the EU and UK sanctions against Russia, the Swiss Confederation Federal Council decided to implement the restrictive measures imposed by the EU.

As you may recall, on May 20, 2025, the European Union and the United Kingdom, as part of their "coordinated efforts to ensure a just and lasting peace in Ukraine," adopted the regulations introducing further restrictive measures against Russia.
