Ukrainian Embassy in Serbia: We have no information about the delivery of weapons

The Embassy of Ukraine in Serbia announced in a written response Voice of America that he "has no information" that Belgrade intends to send weapons to Ukraine, or has already done so.

This was exclusively published by the Reuters agency, referring to US intelligence confidential documents that were recently leaked to the public.

In one of them, marked "secret", it is stated that Serbia refused to provide support in the training of Ukrainian troops, but agreed to send weapons to Ukraine or had already done so.

The Embassy of Ukraine announced that it has no information about the delivery of weapons from Serbia and that it is "guided by the statements of Serbian officials".

"Thus, the Minister of Defense of the Republic of Serbia, Miloš Vučević, categorically and repeatedly denied information about the delivery of weapons to Ukraine, stressing that Serbia does not deliver weapons to Ukraine, Russia, or any other party involved in the Ukrainian-Russian war. Previously, similar statements were shared in the name of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, who also denied the possibility of a contract both with the aggressor and, unfortunately, with Ukraine, which is defending its country, freedom, independence from the Russian occupier, whose imperial ambitions are a threat to all countries of Europe," states the response of the Ukrainian embassies Voice of America.

The Ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs of Serbia denied the allegations of Reuters during the day.

"We have denied those falsehoods more than ten times, and here we are, we will do it again. Someone's goal is obviously to drag Serbia into that conflict, but we consistently stick to our established policy," the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

The information that the Serbian weapons were in the hands of Ukraine appeared a month after the media announced that the rockets of the Serbian manufacturer Krušik were seen in the hands of the Ukrainian army.

Even then, the officials denied the allegations and referred to the conclusions of the National Security Council from February 2022, by which Serbia declared a neutral position in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

However, it remains the only EU candidate country that has not imposed sanctions on Russia.
