ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss neutrality rules out delivering weapons to Poland, Swiss President Ignazio Cassis said on Monday during a visit to Ukraine's neighbour.

"Poland's first wish is actually for arms deliveries. But that is not compatible with our neutrality. I explained that quite clearly to (Polish Prime Minister) Mateusz Morawiecki and he took note of it," Cassis told Swiss broadcaster SRF.
