Swiss referendum on strict neutrality could block EU military ties, UN-only sanctions

Switzerland votes Sunday on a referendum to enshrine stricter neutrality, potentially barring military alliances with Europe and limiting sanctions to UN-mandated ones. The initiative, backed by a right-leaning group, is opposed by most major parties, leaving the outcome uncertain. A 'yes' vote would upend Swiss alignment with EU sanctions on Russia and complicate NATO-linked cooperation.
