reluctance to stop dealing with Russia

Can you name examples?

We did always implement all the EU sanctions afaik.

In case you meant us not using Russian assets to help Ukraine like the EU does, iirc they're using interest, not the actual assets, for that. Which I remember reading (but don't have a source right now) isn't possible for Switzerland due to how they are stored in commercial banks rather than central repositories. And just seizing them would be illegal. It's not like we don't want to (though that's probably a factor too), but more like we can't.
