The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) accused several Serbian arms companies of supplying ammunition to Ukraine through intermediary countries. According to Moscow, the scheme involves NATO members such as the Czech Republic, Poland, and Bulgaria, as well as a number of African countries. The Russian side claims that these deliveries are made using forged end-user certificates, thereby avoiding international restrictions.
The Serbian companies mentioned include Yugoimport SDPR, Krusik, Prvi Partizan, Sloboda, and others. According to Russian intelligence, the deliveries are in "significant volumes" - including hundreds of thousands of artillery shells and approximately 1 million rounds of ammunition that ultimately reach the Ukrainian armed forces. There has been no official reaction from the Serbian authorities so far.
