Ukraine receives €800 million worth of Serbian ammunition through third countries

1. Serbia said it was neutral… I guess they are taking the Switzerland approach.

2. Tough Situation for Serbia to be in. Looks like they are playing both sides…not the worst strategy.

3. I have an idea for world peace:

   Every country on earth give every* piece of ammunition to ukraine,

   And all countries provide every human willing to kill another human, to ukraine.

   *small ammo

   minus all for national and self defense.

   *admit, downvoters, you are salivating at the thought of killing.

4. Ukraine doesn’t recognise Kosovo either. So it is not considered as a hostile country by Serbia. But of course for the latter Russia will always be the best friend and the best ally. Even though Serbia is trying since decades to follow a European path (not a NATO tho). For them it must be a very difficult situation as two friendly countries are fighting each other and if they choose a side then the other side will recognise Kosovo. And Serbia doesn’t have the privilege to lose any more allies.

5. While some people might be thinking that this is simply Vucic being opportunistic, it’s worth remembering that Serbia never recognized Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s territories and claims to be neutral about the whole war, ergo not officially on Russia’s side. More recently Serbia not only participated in the Switzerland peace conference (unlike China), but actually signed the agreement that any peace plan with Russia would require a teritorially complete Ukraine. 20 of the 100 attending countries did not sign it out if fear of upsetting Russia, but Serbia was not among them.

   This is nothing new for those who followed this war and know that Serbia not only took in huge numbers of Ukrainian refugees but also gave quite a bit of financial and humanitarian aid to it in the last 2 years, but it does further prove how the whole idea of unwavering Serbian loyalty to Russia is a myth and a gross generalization, despite what some very loud Serbian nationalists might be screeching, and that many regular Serbs condemn this war and Russia’s actions.

   It’s also a good way to remind people that just because certain countries don’t appear in those lists of official aid to Ukraine doesn’t mean they aren’t helping.

6. 800 million euros might seem pocket change, **but that’s like 1.2% of Serbia’s GDP,** and that’s just ammo.Rifles and other equipment is also sold to Ukraine through third countries

7. Well, war is war and business is business
