#OSCE26CH | Four years since #Russia’s war against #Ukraine began.

We remember the victims and those who continue to suffer. 🇨🇭 has condemned this war with clarity and remains firmly committed to #InternationalLaw and the Helsinki principles.

Civilians must be protected, hostilities must cease, and the three detained #OSCE staff members must be released.

The @OSCE must be ready to support any serious diplomatic step, from ceasefire monitoring to security dialogue. Even in war, #dialogue must remain real.

Happy Romansh language week! #EmnaRumantscha

[About Switzerland @AbtSwitzerland]

Did you know? In 1938, the Swiss electorate officially recognized Romansh as Switzerland's fourth national language.

Spoken by around 0.5% of the population, it remains a vital part of the
country's linguistic mix.

Want to know more? Find out some facts and figures as we’re celebrating #EmnaRumantscha.
