Federal Palace (Parliament) in BernZURICH, Switzerland, Jan 24 Switzerland concerned rising tensions around Ukraine, but at the moment does not plan to evacuate employees of its embassy in Kiev, Lea Zurcher, spokesman for the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (MFA), told RIA Novosti. «, Zürcher said in response to a request from RIA Novosti. She added that the ministry regularly assesses the security situation in Ukraine. Kiev and Western states have recently expressed concern about the alleged increase in «aggressive actions» by Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion. According to him, this does not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone. Russia has repeatedly rejected accusations by the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», stating that it does not threaten anyone and is not going to attack anyone, and statements about «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously noted that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the ability to help Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. >Australia began evacuating the families of diplomats from Kiev
