ZURICH: Germany has welcomed a decision by neutral Switzerland to open the way to sell back some of its German-made Leopard II tanks to help rebuild stocks depleted by aid to Ukraine.

Buying Swiss weapons could become difficult unless Bern adjusts its law on war materials, German ambassador Fluegger said.
