Russia accuses ally Serbia of betrayal
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Russia has criticized Serbia for exporting arms to Ukraine, saying it’s a stab in the back by its traditional Slavic Balkan ally. Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service said in a statement Thursday that Serbian defense enterprises “contrary to the ‘neutrality’ declared by official Belgrade, continue to supply ammunition to Kyiv.” The Serbian export of arms to Ukraine, mostly the Soviet-era-caliber ammunition still used by Ukraine’s defense forces, has long been reported, but it’s not clear why the Russian intelligence service decided to react now.
