I have repeatedly spoken to him about this since the beginning of the war.. If recent events have unambiguously shown us something, it is not only the steadfast spirit of the president, but also the invincibility of the entire Ukrainian people. But history teaches us that decisions in war come not only on the battlefield, but also at the negotiating table,” Cassis said..

According to him, Switzerland is ready to contribute to a peaceful and stable solution through its diplomacy..

“We are engaged in dialogue and diplomatic efforts at the bilateral and multilateral levels to ensure progress in this direction..
