Milos Vucevic, Serbia's Minister of Defense, again denied the so-called revelations of the British agency Reuters, which published information from an alleged secret Pentagon document stating that Serbia has committed to sending weapons to Ukraine or that it has already done so.

He pointed out that for the umpteenth time, the lie that Serbia is selling weapons to Ukraine has been published. Someone's goal is obviously to destabilize our country and drag it into a conflict which we do not want to participate in.

"We have denied those lies more than a dozen times and here we are, we will do it again. Serbia has not, nor will it, sell weapons to the Ukrainian or the Russian side, nor to the countries in the surroundings of that conflict. Someone obviously has the goal of dragging Serbia into that conflict, but we consistently stick to our established policy," Vucevic told Sputnik.

The minister says that our country, of course, sells weapons to third parties, which are far from the conflict and have nothing to do with it:

"There is always the possibility that some weapon will somehow end up in the territory of a conflict, but that has absolutely nothing to do with Serbia. It is a question for those countries that do not respect international norms, contractual clauses and business practices. I repeat, Serbia did not send arms to Ukraine and everything published on that topic represents untrue speculation," said Vucevic.

The British agency said the document was marked as "secret" and as "NOFORN" meaning that its sharing with foreign intelligence services and militaries was prohibited.

The document also allegedly says that Serbia had the "political will and military capacity" to provide weapons to Ukraine in the future.
