Germany and Switzerland have close political and economic ties.

Germany is the largest buyer of Swiss weapons, ammunition and other military-grade goods.

Germany has decided to exclude Swiss companies from certain military procurement contracts.

This has raised alarm among defence companies, with politicians from all parties expressing their anger at the German decision.

Switzerland does not deliver arms to countries involved in conflict its neutrality forbids it.

Many struggle to understand why weapons sold long ago to partner countries can’t be passed on to Ukraine .

The Swiss parliament quickly agreed that the War Materiel Act should be amended.

A referendum on the law is expected but it wouldn't take place before the end of 2025 .
