Switzerland claims neutrality refusing NATO request to treat wounded Ukrainians

  1. As the article says, we’ll instead send help for Ukrainian hospitals rather than violating the law and taking in possible soldiers.

    Edit: not only that but, it’s best for wounded to be treated as near as possible.

  2. I agree, and I think is a great idea. Apollonian neutrality, some would say, is at stake.
    So please also refuse Russian gold and money, on the principle of neutrality!
    Why provide financial heaven for dirty money and gold?

  3. It’s a stupid move! Switzerland has some very good doctors and we should take in patients to help like it is part of our tradition.

    Playing the ethically corrupt lawyer here just puts our economy at risk. Why should someone deal with an irresponsible country like Switzerland which doesn’t help people in need because it interprets to law for one narrative whereas others interpret it differently to support a humanitarian approach?

  4. Austria is neutral too and is taking in injured Ukrainians.

    Neutrality is for conflicts that don’t involve us. Of course we wouldn’t be neutral if someone attacked us. Well, this is a war against Europe, and are we not part of Europe?

  5. Apparently part of the request was that Ukraine had authority of who was sent for treatment and after treatment they would have returned to Ukraine, potentially reentering combat action.

  6. You don’t need an outside view to see that neutrality most of the time is just moral bankruptcy. Neutrality is a concept from a time when Emperors and Kings preyed on each others realms. During that time neutrality made sense.

    Neutrality in the face of the Ukraine war is just closing your eyes on purpose in order not to see the countless war crimes. And yeah, I despise my country and government for doing the same.

    Also, feels like a joke to consider treating wounded people as was “picking a side” but [keep washing dirty oligarch blood money](https://www.wsj.com/articles/switzerland-playground-of-russian-oligarchs-emerges-as-weak-link-on-sanctions-putin-ukraine-war-11657624783) is just business as usual.

  7. Drug cartels money, african dictators money, Jewish gold stolen by Nazis, russian blood money all fine for Switzerland.

    Taking wounded 🇺🇦 civilians and kids and you talk neutrality.

    Swiss business as usual. World will remembered.

  8. I feel like the red cross was founded on this principle that you help anyone who‘s wounded, no matter what side they fought for, even when you are neutral?
