The Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) confirmed the veto on German re-exports for Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. The fact is that these ammunition are made in Switzerland.

The Swiss department said that they had received two requests from Germany to transfer ammunition to Ukraine, which it had previously received from Switzerland. However, both requests were denied.
“Answered in the negative, citing Swiss neutrality and mandatory rejection criteria for Swiss military material legislation,” SECO said.
It should be noted that Switzerland supported European sanctions against Russia for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, Switzerland noted that neutrality does not allow weapons to be provided for use in conflict zones.
