Switzerland imposed restrictions on the transfer of certain military aid to Ukraine from Spain — Spanish Minister of Defense Margarita Robles

She noted that the Spanish Ministry of Defense had applied to the Swiss Embassy for permission, but Switzerland does not approve the supply of certain military goods that require the approval of the country of origin for re-export.

"We understand, respect, and accept [Switzerland's] neutrality, but for certain equipment, we need permission from Switzerland, which it does not give us at the moment," the Spanish defense minister said.

However, Robles assures that her country will continue to help Ukraine "as it has done since the beginning of the full-scale invasion."
