Kremlin on Russian Plane Being Escorted: Geneva Qualified Similar Moves as Hospitality

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has commented on two Swiss fighter jets’ escorting of a plane with the Russian delegation accompanying President Vladimir Putin to a summit with French President Emmanuel Macron, saying that similar situations had already been in place, with Geneva qualifying such moves as “hospitality”.

“Such situations have already been in place. This is not bad. We have sent notes, and the Swiss have responded that this is an act of hospitality”, Peskov told reporters.
