"We understand": Switzerland does not allow Spain to supply its weapons to Ukraine, is the head of the Ministry of Defense.

The department stated that they would appeal to the Embassy of Switzerland to achieve the necessary permits. Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles has reported that Switzerland vetos for the supply of certain types of weapons to Ukraine. About it writes Europapress. According to her, Spain will continue to support Ukraine in the future to participate in its protection against "unjust, illegal and cruel" aggression by Russia.

However, Switzerland does not allow the supply of Kyiv to certain weapons and military equipment. Some deliveries, according to Roles, require the permission of the manufacturer. "We understand, respect and accept neutrality, but for some deliveries we need permission from Switzerland, which it does not give us," - said the head of the Ministry of Defense of Spain. Robles said the agency would turn to the Switzerland Embassy by obtaining a permit.

The official also reminded that Spain helps Ukraine throughout the war, and assistance includes the adoption of refugees, the treatment of wounded Ukrainians, and the training of military personnel.

She is convinced that investments in defense will bring peace and freedom, and will help to defend democratic values. Earlier, focus has already wrote that Spain is growing weapons and replenishing strategic stocks. The country's government allocates 500 million euros to conclude contracts for the supply of various ammunition.
