Switzerland rejects request for trade in Leopard 1 tanks for use in Ukraine

The Swiss Federal Council said on Wednesday that it had rejected a request by Swiss defence firm Ruag for the trade of 96 Leopard 1 A5 main battle tanks for use in Ukraine.

Such a sale would be contrary to the war material act and would entail an adjustment of Switzerland's neutrality policy, the cabinet said.
