Switzerland not to send Denmark-bought APCs to Ukraine, citing 'neutrality law'
Switzerland’s government on Friday said it would not honour a request by Denmark to send 22 Swiss-made armoured personnel carriers to Ukraine, citing Swiss “neutrality law” that bans the export of war material to a country at war.
Denmark had requested that Switzerland transfer the Swiss-made Piranha III wheeled armoured personnel carriers, which Denmark had procured and stored in Germany, to Ukraine.
The executive Federal Council confirmed the decision on Friday just as the Swiss government also announced that it would allow the transfer of some military equipment to Germany and the UK as they replenish supplies that the two countries have sent to Ukraine.
The announcement testified to the fine line Swiss authorities are treading to hold to Switzerland’s legal requirement to remain neutral as laid out in the War Materiel Act, which bars the transfer of Swiss-made weapons systems, ammunition and other materiel to a country involved in an international conflict.
Previously, the Swiss rejected a German request to send Swiss-made 35mm ammunition for Gepard anti-aircraft guns to Ukraine.
