Sputnik - Serbia has not sold weapons to Ukraine, Russia, or any other country involved in the conflict, and Belgrade has refuted such accusations more than ten times, Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vucević told Sputnik.

"We have denied this lie more than ten times and we will do so again. Serbia has not sold and will not sell weapons to Ukraine, Russia, or other countries in the conflict zone. For some, it is obviously an objective to involve Serbia in this conflict, but we have consistently adhered to our established policy," noted Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vucević in an exclusive comment to Sputnik.

"There is always the possibility that some weapons may have magically ended up in the conflict zone, but this has absolutely nothing to do with Serbia. This is a matter for states that do not comply with international norms, treaty provisions, and trade rules. Once again, Serbia did not send weapons to Ukraine, and everything published on this subject is false speculation," emphasized Vucević.

Previously, Reuters reported that Serbia had agreed to deliver weapons to Ukraine or had already delivered them, information found in one of the Pentagon's classified documents leaked on the Internet.
