        Switzerland isn’t neutral. They are Nazis that want their cake too.

          Some of this article's wording seems rather manipulative:

          manufactured with machine tools from the Swiss company GF. [...] When contacted, the Schaffhausen manufacturer claims to have delivered them before 2018, well before the invasion of Ukraine. “No sanctions or other export control regulations have been violated in this context,” it said.

          SRF has analyzed Russian customs data for the first time and found that since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, more than one hundred machine tools from Swiss manufacturers have found their way to Russia, despite sanctions.

          So they didn't disprove GF's claims regarding the Kalashnikov production machinery being sold before 2018. Then they found 100 other manufacturers who are producing machines that may or may not be used in war-related production.

          Admittedly, claiming innocence selling into Russia post-2014 is horseshit but it's the kind of horseshit that flies, since everyone did that.

              Being neutral means taking the aggressors side.

                The machines were delivered before the war.

                    That article is kind of shitty. I'd propose that reading the original with the help of machine translation is probably still better: https://www.srf.ch/news/international/trotz-sanktionen-schweizer-maschinen-in-russlands-waffenfabriken

                    Also just FYI this is 3 months old, that's why the article refers to Trump stopping weapons deliveries, that was a current development at the beginning of march.
