Nimechina initiated a major increase in anti-aircraft defense and Ukraine. So, recently the Minister of Defense of Germany, Boris Pistorius, asked his Swiss colleague Viola Amherd to supply Kiev with the Patriot system.
RBC-Ukraine reports about this from reports on NZZ.
However, the negotiations clearly did not lead to any results. Being a neutral power, Switzerland does not transfer military materials to the warring parties – to Ukraine.
Berlin has repeatedly tried to persuade Bern to allow the transfer of ammunition for the Gepard anti-aircraft tank to Ukraine. However, the federal government could not allow the re-export of this Swiss-made ammunition, for which Switzerland received severe criticism.
It would be possible to organize a kind of ring trade from foreign countries under the banner of trade in Leopard tanks. Last year, Switzerland was able to sell 25 Leopard 2 combat tanks to a German manufacturer – for sure they would not be sent to Ukraine. Tanks will fill the gaps that have fallen in the countries of NATO and the EU through those who handed over tanks to Kiev.
According to data, Switzerland may not be able to establish anything in the galuz of anti-poison defense, so we can exchange rings . The American Patriot systems will be delivered no earlier than 2026. However, Ukraine needs this protection immediately.
