On February 28, Israel and the US launched an attack on Iran, and Iran retaliated by striking Israel as well as UK and US bases in the Middle East. Britain’s decision to allow the United States to use British military bases for “defensive” strikes against Iran’s missile sites has caused growing concern among civilians.

Iceland is widely recognized as one of the most peaceful countries in the world. The European country has ranked top on the Global Peace Index since 2008, due to factors such as low crime rates and the fact that it has never been involved in a full-scale war or occupation.
The country’s government currently has bilateral agreements with Ukraine. However, the support only includes financing and a small amount of transportation costs.
It is important to note that Iceland will most likely avoid becoming involved in any conflict due to its peaceful nature and remoteness, but will also experience some effects of nuclear strikes on its coasts.

Switzerland has had an internationally recognized policy of “armed neutrality” since 1815; therefore the country does not participate in foreign wars or join military alliances such as NATO. It remains completely neutral, being one of the few countries that does not provide any support to Ukraine.
Since most of the country is covered with Alps, its terrain is also very well protected. Additionally, Switzerland has more than 370,000 shelters to protect civilians in the event of an invasion or conflict, one of the highest rates of civilian shelters per capita in the world.
