"Another lie has been published that Serbia is selling weapons to Ukraine. The goal is obvious to someone — to destabilize our country and involve it in a conflict, in which we do not want to participate," Vucevic said exclusively to Sputnik Serbia.
Earlier in the day, media reported, citing the leaked Pentagon documents, that the Serbian authorities had already sent weapons to Ukraine and were ready to transfer more.
Media reported that the document titled "Europe|Response to Ongoing Russia-Ukraine Conflict," has a chart divided into the following groups: countries that had promised to provide training and lethal aid; countries that had already provided training, lethal aid or both; countries with the military ability and the political will "to provide future lethal aid." According to the report, Serbia falls under the first and last categories - countries that promised to provide weapons and countries with the political will to do so in the future.

Western Officials Admitted Involvement in Ukraine Conflict, Says Serbian President
More than 100 classified US government documents have been leaked on social media sites in recent weeks, apparently showing sensitive intelligence documents on US efforts linked to the conflict in Ukraine and interactions with allies and partners.
Last month, some online media claimed Serbia had already supplied Kiev with weapons, including Grad missiles. Vucic denied this information following Russian Foreign Ministry’s call for the clarification on the matter. Serbian defense contractor Krusik also denied that it had been selling missiles to Ukraine.
