Toward the end of May, Switzerland moved forward with the sale of 71 Leopard 1A5 tanks to Germany on the condition that they would not be transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The decision seeks to maintain Switzerland’s long-standing position of neutrality, although it represents a shift from previous years’ stricter stance, which had completely opposed such a transaction.
The move has already been approved by the Swiss Federal Council, the country’s seven-member executive body, which argued that the sale, under these conditions, does not violate Switzerland’s policy of not supplying weapons to countries involved in armed conflicts.
