Switzerland Blocks German Request To Re-Export Swiss-Made Ammunition To Ukraine

Swissinfo.ch: Swiss block German request to deliver ammo to Ukraine 

The SonntagsZeitung paper reports that authorities in Bern rejected – on the basis of neutrality – two recent requests by Germany to re-export Swiss-made ammunition to Kiev. 

“Both Germany’s inquiries were answered in the negative, with reference to Swiss neutrality and the binding rejection criteria of the law on war material,” a spokesman for the Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO) told the newspaper on Sunday. 

SECO did not confirm whether the requests were related to ammunition used in Marder infantry fighting vehicles – tanks requested by Kiev and which are currently part of debates in Germany about sending military material to Ukraine.
