Amgerd, 61, was Switzerland’s first female defense minister. She will replace Alain Berset as president, who held the position until 2023.
It is worth noting that the President of Switzerland has no real powers. It is changed every year on January 1st. The head of state becomes one of the members of the Federal Council (government) on a rotation basis.
The President represents the state abroad, presides over meetings of the Federal Council and acts as a mediator in case of disputes.
Switzerland is an ally of Ukraine
Let us remind you that Switzerland is one of Ukraine’s allies after the start of a full-scale Russian invasion.
Despite the fact that the country does not provide military assistance to our soldiers, it helps in humanitarian matters and also supports the EU sanctions policy against Russia.
Switzerland recently announced that it is joining the 12th package of sanctions against Russia.
