Switzerland continued to expand sanctions against Russia - further measures of the 14th package of EU sanctions against Russia were adopted, which include clarification of the ban on Russian diamonds, UNN reports with reference to the Swiss government.
"On August 21, the Federal Council approved further measures of the 14th EU sanctions package against Russia. They include a clarification of the ban on Russian diamonds, making them internationally harmonized. Effective implementation of sanctions against Russia and international coordination are of great importance to the Federal Council.
