The Swiss authorities have summoned Thursday the Russian ambassador to the country, Sergei Garmonin, to protest a publication made by the diplomatic legation about a Swiss journalist.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country has indicated that the Government thus seeks to express its rejection to the condemnation expressed by the Embassy of an article written by the correspondent Ivo Mijnssen, of the newspaper ‘Neue Zurcher Zeitung’, as indicated by the Government in a communiqué.
According to the Embassy’s note, the correspondent published an article in which he addressed the alleged activities of »Ukrainian terrorists» in the city of Melitopol, which they understood as a »sympathetic tone» towards the Ukrainian side in the midst of the invasion of the territory.
In this regard, the diplomatic legation recalled that such positions fall under the Russian Criminal Code and constitute a crime.
