“Serbian armaments enterprises, contrary to the neutrality declared by Belgrade, still provide ammunition to Ukraine,” said SWR in a statement. “A simple scheme using false end user certificates and intermediary countries serves as a cover for anti -Russian activities” – he added.
The Russian services estimated the “contribution of Serbian reinforcing companies in the West war” for “hundreds of thousands of missiles and a million ammunition to the shooting weapons”.
“It seems that the desire of the employees of the Serbian defense industry and their patrons to derive profit from the blood of the brother of Slavic nations meant that they completely forgot who their real friends are and who their enemies were” – wrote in the Russian intelligence report.
Commenting on the document, Vuczić said in an interview with RTS television that he talked to this subject with Russian leader Vladimir Putin during a visit to Moscow at the beginning of May and that Serbia and Russia appointed a working group that “establishes all the facts” in this matter.

“I will give a command not to complete contracts when there is a suspicion of abuse and directing against our knowledge of armament to areas covered by military operations,” assured Serbian leader.
At the beginning of 2023, the Russian portal has published information according to which Serbian Kruszik sent 3500 rockets to Ukraine through Turkey and Slovakia. Both the enterprise and the then defense minister Serbia Milosz Vuczević denied reports.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs Serbia Ivica Daczić noted at the time that from the beginning of the war in Ukraine, no weapon was taken from Serbia to any of the parties.
