Switzerland pleasing Putin? EU nation accuses Bern of 'blocking' weapons supply to Ukraine

Switzerland takes a major pro-Russia step in the midst of the war in Ukraine. Bern is "vetoing the delivery of certain Swiss-made war materials" from Madrid to Kyiv. This big claim has been made by Spanish Defence Minister Margarita Robles. The Spanish minister also talked about Madrid's "fear" of the war spilling over. "Today, a missile can fly from Moscow to Madrid," claimed Minister Margarita Robles. Switzerland has stuck firmly to the line that its neutrality would be damaged by allowing other countries to send Swiss-made weapons and ammunition to Ukraine. Switzerland has turned down Germany and Denmark's arms supply requests but has also joined the sanctions imposed by the West on Russia over the Ukraine conflict, prompting an outcry from Moscow. However, with the fresh arms block bid, the Swiss government seems to be trying to please Russian President Vladimir Putin and re-emphasise its neutral stance.
