Switzerland says Putin would not be arrested if he came for peace talks

Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis said Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin would be granted “immunity” and not detained, despite a warrant for his arrest, if peace talks were held in Switzerland.

The statement comes after President Donald Trump met on Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders at the White House, during which Trump called Putin. In a later post to social media, Trump said he was attempting to arrange a meeting between Putin and Zelensky, a trilateral meeting with himself, and then a multilateral talk with European leaders.
