Swiss government bans purchase and import of Russian gas

GENEVA: Switzerland’s government on Wednesday announced that the purchase and import of Russian liquefied natural gas would soon be completely banned, as the Alpine nation aligns itself with the latest round of EU sanctions. “From 25 April, a complete ban on the purchase and import of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) will apply in Switzerland,” the government said in a statement. It added though that in the case of pre-existing long-term supply contracts, a transition period would apply until the end of the year.
