Serbia has sold some €800 million in ammunition to various European countries that ended up in the hands of Ukraine despite the alliance and ties that have united Belgrade with Moscow for centuries, the Financial Times reported on June 22. Although Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić says he cannot control what purchasing countries do with the ammunition once they receive it and that it is a business opportunity for his country, he cannot be under any illusions that this will win him favors from the West. The newspaper stated that, according to “estimates shared,” ammunition exports from Serbia to Ukraine through third parties amount to […] #Europe #UkraineWar Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/06/e800-million-worth-of-serbian-ammunition-ended-up-in-ukraine-via-third-parties-ft/?feed_id=12863

Serbia’s geopolitical position is quite complex, perhaps among the most complicated in the world. The country is in an almost identical strategic situation as during the Second World War, when Nazi Germany and its vassals ruled most of Europe. Virtually the same allies of the Third Reich are now firmly in NATO, demonstrating the former’s continuity through the latter. And to prove that, one just needs to look at the map of the Axis powers in 1941 and the map of NATO members and satellite states nowadays. Thus, Serbia is forced to communicate with the belligerent alliance, particularly as the latter keeps escalating its pressure […] #Asia #Europe #Featured #Government Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/05/serbias-close-ties-with-china-show-its-future-lies-in-brics/?feed_id=12103

After a controversial vote, on May 23, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) “adopted” a resolution establishing July 11 as the “International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 [so-called] ‘Genocide’ in Srebrenica”, a largely fabricated event that NATO war criminals want to use to increase pressure on Serbia and have “legal” grounds to continue their aggression on the Serbian people in former Yugoslavia. Supported by its allies in BRICS, Belgrade resisted yet another attempt by the political West to smear the Serbian people’s reputation. Among global superpowers, Russia and China were the most vocal in their support for Serbia. In Europe, Belgrade itself, Belarus and Hungary voted against the […] #Featured #Investigations Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/05/world-rejects-srebrenica-resolution-un-once-again-exposed-as-us-nato-exponent/?feed_id=11783

Back in late October 2017, Russia donated six MiG-29 fighter jets to Serbia. Less than a year and a half later, Belarus did the same, donating four aircraft of the same type. This was a major boost for Belgrade, as it previously had only four (three of which were airworthy) MiG-29 fighter jets that survived NATO aggression in 1999. Moscow’s and Minsk’s military aid was instrumental in preserving the Serbian Air Force and Air Defense (RViPVO), as it brought the number of operational fighter jets to 14, an increase of 250%. Serbia paid for and conducted the modernization, bringing all jets to the MiG-29SM+ […] #Europe #Featured #Government #Military Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/04/rafale-jets-for-serbia-wise-geopolitical-move-or-disastrous-waste-of-money/?feed_id=11027

On March 25, Russia initiated a UN Security Council (UNSC) session concerning the 25th anniversary of the illegal NATO bombing of Serbia (then officially known as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). The attack was essentially the final act of the political West’s direct involvement, following nearly a decade of aggression by NATO whose endgame was to dismantle Yugoslavia, primarily by reducing Serbian ethnic space as much as possible. Namely, since 1991, the political West sought to eradicate the Serbian population in western parts of former Yugoslavia, starting with present-day Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. The former is effectively an outgrowth of the […] #Featured #History #Investigations Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/03/political-west-blocks-russias-un-discussion-about-nato-aggression-on-serbia/?feed_id=10439

Introduction by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio VERSIONE IN ITALIANO It is enough to connect the dots of different disturbing episodes to understand that behind the supply of weapons to Ukraine a mysterious and swirling traffic has been fueled. To understand it, it is enough to put together two reports from Russia Today together with the CIA-Gates cycle investigations published by Gospa News and based on anonymous whistleblowers from the American counter-espionage of the Central Intelligence Agency. Thanks to Ukrainian Weapons Hamas resists vs Israel’s Massacre in Gaza which goes on due to US Veto at UN While the Pentagon reveals […] #Featured #Military #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/pentagons-weaponry-shady-traffic-missiles-for-ukraine-disappeared-new-us-supplies-to-kosovo-separatists/?feed_id=8236

There are very few countries that have done as much damage to the Serbian people as the United States has. Despite never having been an enemy to the US, Washington DC simply doesn’t want to leave the small Southeast European country alone. What’s more, Belgrade was an American ally in both world wars, while Serbian people in America have given an invaluable contribution to its development, with globally renowned Serbian scientists like Nikola Tesla and Mihailo Pupin being among the most prominent names. During WWII, the Serbian Chetnik resistance launched Operation Halyard (also known as Operation Air Bridge) and saved over 500 Allied […] #Featured #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/us-escalates-two-front-war-on-serbia/?feed_id=8148

The West has given Belgrade an ultimatum, effectively forcing it to choose “anything but Russia,” Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (in the cover image) said. “Just like in the situation with Ukraine, the West initially set conditions for Serbia, compelling it to make a tough choice, i.e. either be with the West or with Russia, instead of harmoniously combining different development paths in accordance with the national interests of the Serbian people. Now, however, the only choice left is to be with the West. As for recent remarks, they sound like nothing but an ultimatum: [choose] anything you like, […] #Featured #History #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/12/west-ultimatum-to-belgrado-vs-russia-with-attempted-color-revolution-in-serbia-like-in-ukraine/?feed_id=7784

On November 21, the Serbian military received 11 Russian-made Mi-35P helicopter gunships from the Cypriot National Guard, transported by Antonov An-124-100 aircraft that flew from Paphos in Cyprus to the Batajnica Airbase in Belgrade, Serbia’s capital city. This is one of the most significant weapons acquisitions for Serbia in recent times and is part of a wider military cooperation with Cyprus, a country that Belgrade sees not only as a close strategic partner, but also as a brotherly nation. The feeling is reciprocated in Nicosia, as evidenced by its regular weapons acquisitions from Serbia, which considers the Cypriot struggle for territorial integrity […] #Featured #Military #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/12/did-serbia-really-help-russia-by-buying-cypriot-mi-35p-gunships/?feed_id=7076

Serbian President’s wife and associates support Ukraine, sparking controversy in Serbia By Desanka Handson, Serbian-American freelance journalist The geopolitical position of Serbia is highly contested and one of the most volatile in Europe. The vast majority of the Serbian people have undivided support for Russia, being the only nation in Europe to overwhelmingly hail the Kremlin and its resurgence. However, Belgrade’s political establishment is another story. While the current government has to take into account the opinions of the people, it would seem that its actual priorities lie in Brussels.

Why would Moscow agree to the very real possibility of nuclear missiles deployed at its borders, which could reach it in 7-8 minutes?
