The Swiss Security Commission is calling for a review of the country’s neutrality, which has been maintained since 1515.
The report points out that Switzerland has already become a target of hybrid warfare, including disinformation, espionage, and cyber attacks.
Experts recommend preparing the entire society, not just the military, for a potential conflict, writes Politico.
Against the backdrop of the growing threat from Russia, it is also suggested to strengthen ties with the European Union and NATO, increase military spending, and expand cooperation with the West.
Furthermore, the commission is insisting on lifting a ban on the re-export of arms to Ukraine.
The findings have already been presented to Swiss Defense Minister Viola Amherd and will form the basis of the country’s new security strategy for 2025.
