The Federal Council of Switzerland rejected the request of the Swiss defense concern Ruag to sell 96 Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine. This is contrary to the current legislation.

This is stated in the press release of the Federation Council.

An authorization for the sale, as explained in the Federal Council, would, in particular, be contrary to the Law on War Materials and would cause changes to Switzerlandʼs policy of neutrality.
