Serbia Betrayed Russia: Why The Country Started Supporting Ukraine?

after the start of Russia’s fullscale invasion of Ukraine Serbia was the only country in Europe that did not impose sanctions against the aggressor country belgrad actively welcomes Russian tourists and migrants and Serbian Airlines have become a kind of gateway to Europe for Russian citizens for example air Serbia has been operating more than 20 flights a week to Russian cities since April 2024 however warm relations with Moscow and where business interest began this has been stated directly in Belgrade moreover the national legislation does not prohibit selling weapons to Western countries and they have the right to transfer ammunition to Ukraine this is a part of our economic Revival and important for us even if I know where the ammunition ends up that’s not my job my job is to secure the fact that we deal legally with our ammunition that we sell it I need to take care of my people and that’s it that’s all I can say say we have friends in Kev and in Moscow these are our slav brothers Alexander vui president of Serbia in common to the financial times in April 2023 Reuters citing a pentagon leak reported about Serbian arms deliveries to Ukraine the media added that Serbian defense factories were operating in full capacity now the financial times citing its sources claims that since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine cev has received a 8800 million EUR worth of Arms from Serbia president vuic has described this amount as generally accurate yeah this again shows that Serbia continues to make money from the war in Ukraine because Serbia is not only supplying weapons to Ukraine there are studies that show that armed sales to Israel for example have increased over the last few months in quite significant amounts therefore we should not expect relations between Serbia and Russia to deteriorate Moscow reacted nervously to such an unfriendly move from Belgrade and while Putin’s press secretary pesov promised to quote deal with Serbian friends propaganda TV shows address Serbia with direct insults and threats but the Kremlin will not break off relations with Serbia experts assure firstly it is one of the few remaining platforms for the Kremlin to spread pro- Russian ideas in Europe and secondly if Serbia becomes a member of EU Moscow expects to use it as an agent of influence the Kremlin understands perfectly well that Brussels is not very interested in Serbia getting as close as possible to join in the European Union because having another train horse that will undermine the situation in the European Union as Hungary is doing is much more favorable for Russia than directly denying Serbia’s accession to the European Union moscow’s support is important for Belgrade first of all as far as Kosovo is concerned the Russian Federation and China block its International recognition it is Moscow and Beijing that keep Kosovo from un membership but at the same time belgrad had repeatedly emphasized its desire for re-approach M with the EU and NATO reported by Anastasia tarnava and matano uatv news

Despite Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Serbia remains the only European country not imposing sanctions on Russia. Welcoming Russian tourists and running over 20 flights weekly to Russian cities, Serbia balances warm ties with business interests. Serbian arms worth €800 million have reached Ukraine since the invasion, causing tension with Moscow. While the Kremlin reacts with threats, experts believe ties won’t be severed due to Serbia’s strategic importance. Meanwhile, Serbia seeks closer ties with the EU and NATO, while relying on Moscow’s support regarding Kosovo’s recognition.

  7. Serbia maybe is beginning to relize that Russia won't help in anyway economically, EU instead will do despite the past.

  10. The people and politicians in Serbia are two different things Serbs will always like Russia who else could they like nato who ripped off 15% of it's sovereign territory and bombed the country.

  11. Countries and leaders who think only of the short term benefit narrowly for their own country are not up to their job and does not benefit the long term development of their country.
    Serbian behaviour during this war is a disgrace which will colour the international attitude of Serbia for years to come.

  14. Serbia will never join EU. Croatia will veto everything until war reparations are paid which are today 100 billion euros. And when serbia tells where are mass graveyards where missing people are buried.

  15. Warning : They are not to be trusted folks.

    Belgrad (capital of Serbia) was also a first European city to proclaim Jewish-Free city in 1941.
    .

  16. "Serbia betrayed Russia". This headline is false. The government is playing both sides of the fence, just like China, for it's own interests.

  17. We might complain about Russian flights into Europe, but every Russian man who comes here, can't be sent to Ukraine.
    I'm against all short visas though, they can't holiday here.

  19. Why is WTF-YT censoring and blocking comments when you just say __The day of the madman dictator is dead. People demand to live in freedom and peace.__? Your censorship of comments makes no sense what so ever. Shalom

  21. The leader of Serbia knows that the people love Putin and Russia so he will not stab him in the back. On weapons Serbia does not sell any to Ukraine straight on but the US has other countries buy it for them because Serbia makes Russian ammo that Ukraine uses!

  24. ロシアの友好国のセルビアと中国が、ロシアを裏切ったのは何故なのか？

  26. The only way Russia can ‘sell its ideas’ is at the point of a gun. How can anyone sell Russia 🇷🇺? Poverty. Unemployment. No free press and limited human rights. The list of unfavourable societal conditions is long. Putin and his enablers are the only ones that benefit from Russia’s resources.

  29. At least Vucic can see his old pal Putin is guilty of the war in Ukraine and not like Hungary's Orban or worse still Belarus's Lukashenko!

  30. Why are the Chinese building up a military force in Mongolia? The Chinese have been holding drills there this spring and summer but they are not sending troops home. More troops continue to move into the area for "training."

  33. It drive me crazy how these countries make a big about being Slav! Who cares? I don’t go around talking about out my germanic tribe and my Anglo Saxon brothers! So weird and medieval!

  34. I have to disagree with calling anything towards Russia a "betrayal".
    There can be no reasonable expectation of loyalty towards someone who is coercing you, and that's what Russian power always comes down to.
    Naturally, this also applies to Russian citizens, who cannot "betray" a government that views their lives as a resource to be expended.
