Russia accuses Serbia of supplying weapons to Ukraine
The Russian foreign intelligence service claimed that Serbian defense enterprises are allegedly supplying ammunition to Ukraine despite Belgrade’s neutrality. In Russia's list were leading companies of the Serbian military-industrial complex: Krušik, Yugoimport SDPR, Sloboda, Prvi Partizan, and others.
According to Moscow, the weapons allegedly reach Ukraine through a scheme of fake end-user certificates and intermediaries – Czechia, Poland, Bulgaria, and African countries.
President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić responded to the accusations by stating that "some of the claims made do not correspond to reality."
