Switzerland has banned the export of its military equipment and ammunition to countries that are in military conflict because of its policy of neutrality, the Associated Press reported.
A Ukrainian company received 645,000 rounds of ammunition through the Polish supplier UMO. The Swiss manufacturer claims that it did not know about the further redirection of the ammunition, believing that it would remain in Poland.
‘The investigation revealed that the Swiss manufacturer and the Polish company signed a reseller agreement, which stated that the Polish company has the right to resell the ammunition only in Poland,’ writes the secretariat known as SECO in a letter to the Associated Press.
We shall remind you that earlier a military expert at the Ukrainian Institute for the Future, Ivan Stupak, said that Ukraine’s request for a THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defence) anti-missile system to combat the latest Russian ballistic missiles was unlikely to be satisfied.
