Paris - The Swiss Federal Council has imposed additional limitations on military exports to Russia, the Swiss government said in a communique.

The communique said it had been decided to expand the ban on exports
of military hardware to Russia and Ukraine but did not specify the
hardware types.

The Swiss authorities also decided to prevent the evasion of EU sectoral sanctions against Russia via Switzerland.

The communique said Switzerland would take additional steps in order
to prevent the use of the Swiss territory for the evasion of the
sanctions. The Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs was
instructed to draw up measures towards that end and to present them for
approval shortly.
