BERLIN — The Swiss government on Wednesday said it will initiate proceedings to confiscate more than 100 million francs ($104 million) in assets of a close associate of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
Switzerland’s governing Federal Council said it is providing support to Ukraine as Kyiv is facing “certain difficulties” in its efforts to confiscate the money, which have been compounded by the current war. But it said the move is unrelated to sanctions imposed on Russia this year.
The government said the assets of Yanukovych associate Yuriy Ivanyushchenko and family members were frozen in Switzerland following the ouster of the Kremlin-friendly Yanukovych in 2014. A Swiss federal court will determine whether the assets can be confiscated and, if it agrees, they will be returned to Ukraine.

Gee. What if they had done that with Hitler?
Switzerland sold its soul to the US Treasury 10 years ago, so its largest banks could continue to play on Wall Street.
What about Ze’s secret accounts?

If he were smart, he’d register them as BLM-Z. Then no one would dare to touch them.
When do they join NATO?
Near as I can tell, Switzerland is on the same side now as it was during WWII.
Maybe they can seize the assets of Gyorgy Schwartz.
Good.
Yanukovych got that money imn return for handing Ukraine to Russia on a plate, triggering Euromaidan and everything that followed.
It is you who made aware of this. How Putin had the road smoothed over to take/seize Crimea. Everything follows from the taking of Crimea. Meaning Putin.Russia taking over the northern Black Sea for oil and gas drilling and exploitations. Meaning rat bastard Putin can blockade Ukraine exports of wheat/barley and more. How smart are you? Where are Ukrainian sunflower seeds pressed via auger to extract the oil?
“Switzerland sold its soul to the US Treasury 10 years ago”
Yup. Now the IRS can reach out the swiss banks and find out how much money they have..unless you’re deep state. So much for “neutrality”.
I met people at a party a year ago here in Malibu and a few said they transferred $$ from their swiss banks to other similar banks in the caymans etc.
Putin has managed to piss off the Swiss.
Another nice move, Vlad.

What it has to do with Putin? The story is about seizure of the assets of the Ukrainian businessman.
“The government said the assets of Yanukovych associate Yuriy Ivanyushchenko and family members were frozen in Switzerland following the ouster of the Kremlin-friendly Yanukovych in 2014.”
Comprehension ain’t your strong suit.

And the contradiction with my post is?
“And the contradiction with my post is.”
A pal of Putin stole hundreds of millions. The Swiss didn’t do anything about it until Putin invaded.
Dots.
Connect them.

LOL. Now I see. Some say Trump was a Putin’s pal. You mostly cite similar sources.
“Some say Trump was a Putin’s pal.”
Democrats lie almost as much as Russians lie.
Almost.

Hitler was many things, but he didn’t rob from his country like Putin and Putin’s associates do.
Hitler was fanatical about power - that was his currency. He didn’t care too much about the luxuries.
So the tactics for stopping him were not economic.
Also note that the economic tactics make sense in todays interconnected, high complex economic world.
