Russia’s trust in Switzerland as a venue for key political contacts is nearly exhausted, Russian Ambassador to Bern Sergey Garmonin told TASS.

“Switzerland’s willingness to offer its good offices does not mean that Russia is ready to use them. Our trust in Switzerland as a venue for key political contacts is nearly exhausted,” he said, commenting on media reports that the Swiss Foreign Ministry is ready to host the next round of talks on a settlement in Ukraine.
