Approving the initiative would restrict cooperation with NATO and ban imposing sanctions — affecting current restrictions on Russia. The Kremlin openly supports the referendum initiative, raising concerns among Switzerland's Western partners.

Should Switzerland maintain full neutrality and drop sanctions on Russia?

Putin claims Russia won't attack Europe, threatens Baltic states

Vladimir Putin said Russia is not preparing for war with Europe and dismissed warnings to that effect as provocation. He also claimed that rights of Russian-speakers in Baltic states are being violated and promised Moscow's response under "humanitarian law". He made similar assurances before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
