🇨🇭 Swiss referendum could challenge Russia sanctions

Voters in Switzerland will decide on Sunday whether to enshrine a stricter definition of neutrality in the Constitution. If the initiative passes, Bern would effectively be unable to impose sanctions on Russia without UN Security Council approval, where Moscow holds veto power.

The proposal also bans military cooperation with alliances like NATO unless Switzerland is attacked or faces an immediate threat. Russia has openly supported this initiative.
