Ukraine denies Serbia’s accusations of sending “bomb threats” to flights to Russia

That’s according to a comment provided to Ukrinform by Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko.

“His (Aleksandar Vucic's) statements about Ukraine's alleged involvement in bomb threats to Serbian air carriers flying to Russia are false,” the Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

He also expressed disappointment that Serbia has not yet joined the EU sanctions imposed on Russia over an unprovoked war it unleashed against Ukraine. Nikolenko stressed that the Russian Federation launches missiles and drops bombs on Ukrainian cities on a daily basis, killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure.

"Tough sanctions and unity of the democratic world can stop this war. We call on Belgrade to stand up for the truth and fully join in supporting Ukraine and upholding the values ​​on which a united democratic Europe has been founded," Nikolenko said.

As reported, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said in an interview with TV Pink that his country will continue to fly to Russia, despite “bomb threats” being issued.

According to Vucic, two countries stand behind such threats – one is an EU member and the other is Ukraine.
