US EditionRussia Accuses Serbia of Backstabbing by Helping Arm Ukraine
- On Thursday, Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service accused Serbia of supplying Soviet-era ammunition to Ukraine via NATO intermediaries, despite Serbia's declared neutrality.
- These shipments follow long-known reports since early 2023 of Serbian defense companies delivering hundreds of thousands of shells, with Russia surprised by the recent public condemnation.
- Serbia, a traditional Slavic ally to Russia heavily dependent on Russian energy, continues exporting about 800 million euros worth of ammunition through third countries while seeking EU membership.
- The SVR stated the arms transfers represent a betrayal and a profit from 'the blood of fraternal Slavic peoples,' while President Aleksandar Vucic defended the legality of exports and stressed Serbia's neutral stance.
- These developments highlight Serbia's complex positioning between historic ties to Russia and ambitions for EU integration, fueling tensions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
