Serbia denies transferring weapons to Ukraine

Ukrinform
Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vucevic has strongly denied media reports that the country is sending weapons to Ukraine.

According to B92, this was reported by Ukrinform.

"Once again, a lie has been published that Serbia is selling weapons to Ukraine. Obviously, someone's goal is to destabilize our country and drag it into a conflict in which we will not participate," Vucevic said.

At the same time, the minister noted that Serbia, of course, sells weapons to third parties "who are not involved in the conflict and have nothing to do with it."

"There is always possibility that some weapon will somehow magically be found on the territory of the conflict, but that has absolutely nothing to do with Serbia. It is a question for those countries that do not respect international norms, contractual clauses and business practices. I repeat, Serbia did not send arms to Ukraine and everything published on that topic are untrue speculations," said Vucevic.

As reported by Ukrinform, Reuters news agency, citing leaked secret Pentagon documents, published the news that Serbia had agreed to supply weapons to Kyiv or had already sent them.
