Switzerland, which has a long history of being neutral, is considering playing a big part in a future peacekeeping operation in Ukraine, should the need arise. In a recent interview with the SonntagsBlick newspaper, Thomas Süssli, the leader of the Swiss military, described the prospect. He proposed that, with the consent of the Swiss parliament and cabinet, Switzerland could send some 200 troops on a nine- to twelve-month deployment.
