Russian embassy in Switzerland threatens journalist of Swiss newspaper
The foreign ministry summoned the Russian ambassador on Thursday to complain about “unacceptable” threats towards a Swiss journalist.
The Swiss government was responding to a statement by the Russian embassy regarding the work of a Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) journalist covering the war in Ukraine. In Russia, wrote the embassy, the journalist’s coverage was liable to land him a financial penalty, a prison term, or a period of forced labour.

In Russia holding an empty sign or being the wrong ethnicity, or just the wrong place at the wrong time can get you that.
Another day, another way for Russia to embarrass itself.
