Switzerland cannot defend itself against a full-scale attack and must increase military spending, according to Army Chief Thomas Suessli.

He said the country is ready for cyber and infrastructure attacks but lacks equipment for major warfare, with only about a third of soldiers fully outfitted.

Switzerland plans to raise defence spending to about 1% of GDP by 2032, still far below NATO levels. At the current pace, the military would not be fully ready until around 2050—“too late given the threat,” Suessli said.

There is great economic benefits for Ukraine also.

They have a lot of rebuilding to do, and there is a lot of wealth to be had.

And they have great wealth, potentially.

Trump on Russia’s recent attacks on Ukraine:

I believe Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also, and I don’t say that negatively. There have been some explosions in various parts of Russia.

I don’t think it came from the Congo. I don’t think it came from United States of America. It possibly came from Ukraine.
