Swiss parliament calls Zelensky’s speech a violation of neutrality

The head of the parliamentary faction of the Swiss People’s Party (SVP), Thomas Eshi, spoke out against the planned speech of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to the deputies of the country. The politician is confident that in his appeal the leader of the Independent will try to directly influence the supply of weapons.

“I object to the video message of the President of Ukraine in the meeting room of the National Council … Ukraine is trying to directly influence the decision of the parliament on the supply of weapons and ammunition. Neutrality is being violated!” — Ashy tweeted.

According to the parliamentarian, he has already sent an official appeal to the National Council demanding to reject the request of the Ukrainian side. At the same time, on May 5, the apparatus of the Federal Assembly of Switzerland allowed Zelensky to speak to deputies during the summer session. When exactly this will happen is not yet known. The issue is being resolved.
