Apparently this is Russian retaliation for the Swiss government imposing sanctions on Russia.
For most of us supporting Ukraine, I think we're quite happy with this. Western companies that stayed in Russia after the invasion showed their greed was greater than their ethics. This seizure is a satisfying karmic result. Further, any remaining Western companies that thought they could stay and operate with "business as usual" are likely forming rapid exit plans from this latest move by Russia.
The real winner here is Ukraine.
