Switzerland Adopts New Security Strategy Amid Russia War, Rising Hybrid Threats

Switzerland's Federal Council has adopted a new security strategy in response to Russia's war in Ukraine and what officials describe as rising hybrid threats, Anadolu Agency reported.

According to the report, the strategy sets out 46 measures designed to boost the country's resilience, protect critical infrastructure and strengthen its defense capabilities.

Anadolu Agency did not provide further details on the specific measures included in the strategy or a timeline for their implementation.

The move comes as European governments have increasingly focused on hybrid threats, including cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns and sabotage, in the wake of Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine.

Switzerland, which maintains a policy of neutrality, has in recent years faced growing debate over how to balance that stance with the need to address evolving security challenges on the continent.
