France is in the process of negotiating with Switzerland on the possibility of re-exporting weapons to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said during his visit to Switzerland, Ukrinform reports.

He emphasized respect for Switzerland's neutral status and its clear diplomatic support for Ukraine.

"As for the current debate, it is not about exports, but about re-exports, and France is open to such cooperation," Macron said.

Macron expressed optimism about the ongoing talks, believing that they can strike a balance between Switzerland's neutrality and its ability to re-export weapons.

"It (support for Ukraine) should not weaken, despite other conflicts, particularly in the Middle East. As we have long recognized, Russia must not win this war," the French president said.

It is important to note that Switzerland, which has maintained a policy of neutrality since 1815, has expressed support for Ukraine and is providing humanitarian aid.
