The Comedian Shouldn't be Taken Serious. He is a Slave to the West!!

On Thursday, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky delivered a speech to the Swiss parliament via video link where he urged lawmakers to revisit the country's policies on arms exports and garner more support in their ongoing conflict with Russia.

However, even before the address took place, it stirred up controversy as Switzerland's largest political faction - the People's Party - boycotted it over concerns of perceived interference in Swiss affairs.


During his speech, Zelensky appealed to MPs to reconsider their stance on allowing exports and re-exports of Swiss-made war materials to Ukraine. He also urged them to take stronger measures against Russian oligarchs who have had a significant impact on the conflict between the two countries.

“I know there is a discussion in Switzerland about the exportation of war materiel to protect and defend Ukraine. That would be vital. We need weapons so we can restore peace in Ukraine,” Zelensky asserted


The address was dismissed by the People's Party, a right-wing political organization that possesses 53 seats in the National Council (the lower house comprising 200 seats) and six mandates in the Council of States (which has 46 seats). Despite being announced last month, the party declared its intention to boycott the speech, claiming that it would amount to a serious intervention in Switzerland's internal affairs.

“We understand that the Ukrainian president wants to do everything to defend Ukraine. But we must not allow ourselves to be put under pressure on the issue of sanctions or arms deliveries,” People’s Party MP Alfred Heer said.

Inviting guest speakers is a rare occurrence for the Swiss legislature. Only two dozen such events have taken place since the 1970s. Moreover, Zelensky’s speech was the first-ever address to the parliament made by a foreign leader over video link.

Switzerland’s long-standing image as a neutral country has already been somewhat tarnished by Bern’s decision to join the West’s Ukraine-related sanctions against Russia. Still, the country has consistently rejected requests to allow re-exports of Swiss-made weaponry to Kiev, despite mounting pressure from other Western nations, including the US.

Earlier this month, the National Council shot down a bill that would have allowed such shipments, rejecting a proposed amendment to the national War Materiel Act. The legislation, known as the ‘Lex Ukraine,’ called for a temporary waiver until the end of 2025 that would have allowed the handover of Swiss-made war materiel specifically to Kiev.
