Serbia denies arming Ukraine.

(RT) ⸻ Serbia has denied supplying weapons to Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict with Russia, dismissing media reports suggesting otherwise. The country's foreign minister, Ivica Dacic, insisted Belgrade had not provided war supplies to either side of the conflict or made shipments to any other "controversial" destinations. The Serbian Defense Ministry also insisted that no permits to supply arms to either Russia or Ukraine had been granted from the onset of the hostilities. The government operates strictly in line with international restrictions and UN rulings regarding certain nations or entities. In recent days, media reports suggested that the Serbian state-owned arms maker Krusik supplied at least one batch of 3,500 122-mm rockets used with Soviet-made M-21 Grad multiple rocket launch systems. The shipment was allegedly delivered to a Turkish customer, who then sent them to Ukraine via Slovakia. The Krusik arms factory was the first to deny the allegations, insisting that the media reports used "incomplete and irrelevant information." The manufacturer also insisted it had not signed a delivery contract with the Turkish company Arca Savunma Sanayi Ticaret Limited, which was mentioned in the documents. Belgrade has maintained an explicitly neutral stance since the beginning of the hostilities between Moscow and Kiev over a year ago, but has faced mounting pressure from the EU to condemn Moscow's ongoing military operation and join the Western-imposed sanctions against Russia. Moscow has responded to the arms shipment allegations by asking Belgrade to officially comment on the matter, but is reserving judgment until all the facts have been established.
