[Global Network Reporter Zhang Xiaoya] According to a comprehensive report by Sputnik news agency & radio and RIA Novosti on the 5th, Serbian President Vucic said that the report on Serbia’s arms sales to Ukraine was a lie, and Serbia neither provided military weapons to Ukraine nor Russia.
RIA Novosti mentioned that Vucic, who is visiting Qatar, denied the accusation of Serbian arms sales to Ukraine. "This is a complete lie. Serbia has not delivered weapons to any party. Serbia produces and sells ammunition, and we have many defense and military enterprises. When you produce ammunition, they will inevitably appear in conflict areas or crisis areas. But we have not sold any guns, weapons or ammunition to Russia or Ukraine. "
RIA Novosti also said that Vucic indicated that Serbian military products were only supplied to authorized users. "They said we exported it through Turkey. We must know that some products may be transported to any party in the conflict, so we have to add that we can no longer continue to export weapons to Turkey. "
The report mentioned that earlier this week, some media claimed that Serbia provided BM-21 rockets for Kiev. These media also claimed that the rockets produced by the Serbian military enterprise Krushik were purchased by a Canadian company and then shipped to Ukraine through Turkey and Slovakia. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zacharova said on March 2 that Russia asked the Serbian government to clarify its official position on supplying ammunition to Ukraine. At the same time, RIA Novosti said that Krushik denied all the allegations, and the Serbian Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also refuted the allegations.
According to CCTV News, Serbian Foreign Minister Dacic said on the 3rd local time that Serbia has not exported weapons to Ukraine or Russia, nor to any disputed country since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began. Dacic said that he is very clear about Serbia’s arms export data, because the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the main ministry involved in issuing arms export licenses to legal institutions.
