Yves Rossier
Former Swiss ambassador to Russia Yves Rossier was vaccinated with the Russian Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine. RIA Novosti writes about this with reference to representatives of the embassy.
“At the end of December 2020, shortly before his departure from Moscow, Rossier was vaccinated, like several other employees of the Swiss diplomatic service,” the message says.
RIA Novosti recalls that Turkish Ambassador Mehmet Samsar also did not rule out that he will be vaccinated with the Russian vaccine. His colleague from Great Britain, Deborah Bronnert, on the contrary, is not going to do this.
Rossier completed his work in Russia in December 2020. He has been the head of the Swiss diplomatic mission since 2017. Christina Marty Lang is now taking his place.
Earlier it was reported that Italian ambassador to Russia Pasquale Terracciano was vaccinated with the Russian vaccine. According to him, there are no side effects yet, the ambassador plans to take an antibody test soon.
