Russia is preparing for further escalation with the West, outgoing Swiss army chief Thomas Süssli said in an interview with the Neue Zürcher Zeitung on Saturday.
Süssli served as head of the Swiss army for six years. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, he has worn a camouflage outfit in all his public appearances.
“European defense ministers and army chiefs say Moscow may be ready to expand the war from about 2028,” Süssli said when asked about the possibility of war between Russia and NATO. “These are not prophecies, but warnings.”
