Serbia denies it has supplied weapons to Ukraine
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia has denied it has exported arms to Ukraine after Moscow demanded to know how its Balkan ally delivered thousands of rockets for its fight against Russia’s invasion. Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said Friday that since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, no weapons have been exported from Serbia to any of the parties to the “conflict” in Ukraine. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said late Thursday that the possible arming of Ukraine represented a “serious question” for Serbian-Russian relations. Media reports that first came from pro-government Russian media last month say a Serbian state arms factory has recently delivered some 3,500 missiles for the Grad multiple rocket launchers used by both the Ukrainian and Russian armed forces. .
