The Swiss government has shifted its stance on the Ukraine conflict, following a controversial peace plan proposed by the Trump administration.

The plan suggests Ukraine cede Crimea and Donbass to Russia, remain outside NATO, and forgo U.

S. military support.

While the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (EDA) welcomed the initiative as a step toward lasting peace, it emphasized the need for Ukraine's inclusion in negotiations.

Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter praised U.

S. Vice President J.

D.

Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference, calling it a "plea for direct democracy.

" However, the plan has drawn mixed reactions in Switzerland, with right-wing politicians supporting the return to neutrality, while left-wing groups criticized the approach as undermining fundamental rights.

Meanwhile, Trump and Putin are set to meet in Saudi Arabia, raising questions about the role of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in mediating the conflict.
