In preparation for the global summit on Ukraine’s peace formula, Switzerland has seen a surge in cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns, as reported by Swiss government officials on June 10. The summit is scheduled to take place in Burgenstock from June 15-16, with a focus on addressing key issues such as energy security, captive exchange, kidnapped children’s return, and global food security.
Swiss President Viola Amherd addressed the increased cyber threats by stating that they have not taken extreme measures like summoning ambassadors due to the intense disinformation spread.
While acknowledging a clear interest in disrupting the talks, Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis refrained from specifying any party responsible for the attacks when questioned about potential Russian involvement.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba highlighted Russian President Putin’s intentions to sabotage the peace summit, stating Putin’s lack of desire to end the ongoing invasion. Participants aim to draft a unified negotiation position on war resolution to present to Russia, according to presidential spokesperson Sergii Nykyforov.
