ZURICH—Russia’s Gazprombank has decided to cease operating in Switzerland after “a strategic review of various options,” it said on Monday.

The bank had been one of the last remaining channels for financing trade flows between Russia and Switzerland because other major Russian banks are subject to sanctions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
