SRF Correspondent Tschirky on Putin’s Origin: “Absolutely meaningless talk”
Vladimir Putin’s speech lasted less than 10 minutes during the march marking the anniversary of the victory of World War II. SRF correspondent Luzia-Tschirky made a brief assessment: “The highly anticipated speech has become utterly meaningless in terms of content. The Russian president has once again proved one thing: no one knows what is being decided behind the walls of the Kremlin. This complete lack of transparency is one of the cornerstones of Vladimir Putin’s power struggle for two decades. “

“Russia has already launched a strike,” Putin said. “This is the only viable solution for a country with a strong sovereignty.”

EU Ambassador Mavromichalis is strongly opposed to the exceptions for Switzerland
According to EU Ambassador Petros Mavromichalis, if the EU grants Switzerland exceptions to an agreement that does not exist in other member states, it will create holes in the general domestic market.
The strength of the domestic market lies in the fact that all participating countries adhere to the same rules, Mavromichalis, who represents the interests of the European Union in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, said in an interview with the Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
If there is any ambiguity, there is an event in the European Court of Justice that explains these rules. In areas where the federation participates in the domestic market, this also applies to Switzerland.
