Kind of weird to include Switzerland after the shit they pulled with preventing other countries from giving their ammo to Ukraine.

I think they're just trying to keep the money in Europe while utilizing all available sources. Not sure the current demand could be dealt with without Switzerland.

This law was introduced after a public vote, independent of the war in Ukraine. We were tired of our weapons ending up in the really shady corners of the world, including militant groups that may kill thousands of innocent and unarmed people.Selling arms to anyone goes against our neutrality, at least what's left of it.
Even if we have an obvious aggressor attacking Ukraine, we can't start making exceptions, because how can we remain neutral if we start selling arms to one side only?

Why are you selling arms at all then? There is no such thing as neutrality, just difficult terrain to fight through.

Agreed, but on the other hand, maybe this could push them to be better involved in the collective defense of Europe, not just for new arms but older ones as well. The more countries that contribute to Europe's collective defense, the better.
