The Swiss parliament late Thursday voted against a proposed bill that would have allowed other European countries to give Ukraine weapons and ammunition that they bought from Switzerland.

"Germany, Spain and Denmark have all requested Switzerland's permission to transfer Swiss-made military supplies to Kyiv.

The bill would have created a temporary exception to Switzerland's ban on the sale of arms to war zones.

Opponents of the bill said it would have undermined Swiss neutrality and brought the country too close to NATO. The events in Ukraine has sparked a debate in Switzerland about overhauls to its policy of blocking other countries from transferring Swiss-made arms to Kyiv." [1]
