Switzerland froze more than $ 6 billion Russian assets

Switzerland froze Russian assets worth about 5.75 billion Swiss francs or $ 6.17 billion, which include a number of real estate objects. However, this amount is likely to be even more, reports Reuters.

“With the arrival of new messages and potential additions to the Sanctational Lists of the EU, which also implies Switzerland, it is likely that this figure will grow,” the Senior Officer of the State Secretariat on Economic Affairs (SECO).

Until this time, the SECO refused to assess the size of assets, frozen or potentially subjected to sanctions, but the neutral country began to assume the sanctions of the European Union against Russia because of its invasion of Ukraine.
