Serbia has been discreetly increasing its ammunition sales to Western countries, which are subsequently being transferred to Ukraine. Despite Serbia being one of only two European countries not to join Western sanctions against Russia, it has exported nearly €1 billion worth of ammunition to Ukraine through intermediaries since February 2022. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić acknowledged the accuracy of this sum, describing it as a business opportunity while maintaining that Serbia is not taking sides in the conflict. Vučić emphasized that Serbia's contracts were with countries like the USA, Spain, and the Czech Republic, and it is not Serbia's concern where the ammunition ultimately ends up. The Financial Times reported these findings, highlighting Serbia's role in bolstering Ukraine's defense.
