Ukraine's armed forces are using Swiss-made armoured vehicles in their war against Russian invaders.

Here's What We Know

We are talking about the MOWAG Eagle. The car has been spotted at the front near Bakhmut. A picture of the car was published by the Telegram channel @NMFTE. Ukraine's partners did not announce the transfer of the vehicles, but it is known that such a modification of the armoured vehicle is in service in Switzerland and Denmark. Most likely, it was Denmark that handed them over to us.
