TL;DR Summary

Switzerland's intelligence agency, NDB, has reported that Russia continues to have dozens of spies disguised as diplomats at its embassy in Bern and its mission to the United Nations in Geneva, making the Alpine nation a hotspot for Russian espionage activity in Europe. The NDB said that while Russia's intelligence activities in Europe and North America have been weakened by the expulsion of Russian agents posing as diplomats following the Skripal incident in 2018 and last year's invasion of Ukraine, their number has remained stable in Switzerland. China is also believed to have spies at its diplomatic missions in Switzerland, but their number is significantly less than Russia's.
