Just saw this on the Guardian feed

Swiss officials have concluded that Russia is unlikely to use its
nuclear weapons against the West in a conflict over Moscow’s invasion
of Ukraine, Defence Minister Viola Amherd said on Monday.

The comments came after Switzerland adopted EU sanctions against
Russia.

“We are, of course, looking at all scenarios, but our investigations
indicate that the likelihood of these nuclear weapons being used is
low,” she told a news conference in Bern.

That really comes across as pretty mealy mouthed on behalf of the Swiss gov... "If we thought there was a chance Russia would use the nukes on us, we'd not have got involved with sanctions"

The more everyone comes out saying that, the more I think it might happen, which is quite irrational I think.. (hope!).

Interesting that Fifa aren't banning Russia for the world cup playoffs.

Also if Putin is pissed off enough by Truss to raise his threat level, how do we think he'll react to Amherd publicly stating it's bullshit.
