The Serbian government confirmed this Wednesday that it has not and will not supply weapons to Ukraine.and branded as “a lie” the contents of one of the secret Pentagon documents leaked these days, which suggests otherwise.
“For the umpteenth time, the lie that Serbia is selling weapons to Ukraine has been published,” This was stated by Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vucevic in a statement released today.
“Obviously, someone wants destabilize our country and drag it into conflict in which we do not want to participate,” he added.
“More than ten times we have refuted this lie and we are doing it again. Serbia has not sold and will not sell weapons to either the Ukrainian or Russian side.” the minister insisted.
This is how he reacted to the news, which is echoed by the media of the Balkan country today, that in one of the leaked US classified documents in social networks and picked up by the international press, it is stated that Serbia is willing and ready to supply weapons to Ukraine.
According to this document, the authenticity of which has not been confirmed, Serbia refused to conduct military training of Ukrainian forces. but he would have promised to send deadly aid.
The secret report ensures that there is political will in Belgrade to provide weapons to Ukraine in the future, and that the country has the military capacity to do so.
Serbia, a candidate country for membership in the European Union (EU), is a traditional ally of Moscow and did not join Western sanctions against the Kremlin, although it condemned Russian aggression and violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
“There is always the possibility that some weapons were mysteriously found in the conflict area, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Serbia,” Vucevic commented today.
“I repeat: Serbia did not send weapons to Ukraine, and everything published in connection with this topic These are false assumptions.” insisted the head of the Ministry of Defense, quoted in a note from his ministry.
Last month, the Serbian government denied reports published in the Russian media about the alleged export of weapons from Serbia to Ukraine.
