Switzerland rejects calls to transfer arms to a third country, Ukraine

Despite growing pressure from European nations to export them to Ukraine, Switzerland’s government said it would not transfer Swiss-made arms to a third country.

“The Federal Council is committed to the values of Swiss neutrality and will continue to work to ensure the benefits of neutrality are realised,” it said in a statement.

However, it said it would continue to monitor the debates and make a further statement “if necessary”.
