[M] The Swiss situation with Russia and the EU is extremely complex. Whilst Switzerland is an EFTA country, it does not have the same trade agreements as other EFTA countries, and instead has a ton of separate bilateral trade agreements that are not regulated by an EU court. This essentially means that the EU can't tell Switzerland to go and fuck itself if it lifted sanctions on Russia. However, they are currently trying to perform a balancing act between the east and west because both are important to them economically. It would be within their interests to lift sanctions on Russia, but it is also in their interests to stay friendly with the EU. For these reasons, I'm going to wait and see what the response is from other EFTA countries before making a decision, as all 4 EFTA nations lifting the sanctions might give the Swiss a little more protection from the EU, rather than them going solo with Norway.

Ping me when other countries have responded.

Iceland will support the move if it is seen as a joint nordic council effort. Source shows weakening support for Russian trade sanctions in Iceland.

Iceland has taken no formal stance yet and is waiting on a vote of Nordic Council members
