That's according to Swissinfo, Ukrinform reports.

The army began their assistance service for the Ukraine peace summit on Monday. Most of the troops for the mission have been deployed. From June 5 to 19, as many as 4,000 members of the armed forces will be helping with various tasks, including include site security, surveillance, command support, and logistics.

The army is supporting the civilian authorities, who are responsible for its deployment. Specifically, military personnel will assist Nidwalden cantonal police in protecting critical facilities and air transport. They also provide surveillance on lakes and provide logistics and command support.

At the request of the canton of Nidwalden, the Federal Council imposed airspace restrictions and deployed the army on a supplementary security operation.
