Switzerland blocks Spanish arms for Ukraine – Spain wants to deliver military material to Ukraine, but is prevented from doing so by Switzerland. Switzerland would have to issue a permit for the re-export of certain armaments

TL;DR

1/5Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles is waiting for the green light from Switzerland to export certain military equipment to Ukraine.With its veto, Switzerland is currently preventing any transport of military material from Spain to Ukraine.But in order to send certain “material, we need a kind of permission from Switzerland, which they are not granting us at the moment”.Spain is thus prevented by Switzerland from participating in its “legitimate defense” against the “unjust, illegal and cruel” Russians.The minister reaffirmed the need to increase defense spending in view of the global “uncertainty”."
