LIVE: #Swiss parliament's lower chamber starts discussing #warMaterial (re-)exports to #Ukraine just now.
Expect some decision by the end of the year, if any.

@tursiops It's good practice to ask beneficiaries what aid they need. What Ukraine is most vocally asking for is, sadly but with reason, arms, to avoid needing more and more tents, generators etc. later, for survivors. Certainly not "always arms", but do #armUkraineNow.
I wish the left in parliament would compromise and trade their nonviolence absolutism for more more civilian help into a #LexUkraine.
#LexUkraine : Switzerland could lift its veto on re-exports to #armUkraine .
"Emergency legislation" to be valid starting no later than... well... no sooner than 1st of May.
It must be approved by #parlCH, whose next session is planned on 27 Feb - 17 Mar.
So, it's an emergency legislation designed to be delayed for 6-8 weeks for no reasons?
