It is know that Switzerland is a neutral state and also have a law forbidding re-export of weapon and ammunition to conflict zones. So far Switzerland had blocked weapon and ammunition supplies which intended to be delivered to Ukraine by many countries e.g. ammunition bought by Poland and delivered to Ukraine, ammunition for anti-air defense “Gepard” system which Germans intended to deliver to Ukraine, armored personnel carriers Piranha III which Denmark intended deliver to Ukraine.
