Serbia is trying to distance itself from the Kremlin as the war against Ukrainians sours relations between their leaders. President Oleksandr Vuchich stated that for his country Crimea and Donbas are exclusively part of Ukraine.
Bloomberg writes about it.
During an interview for the publication, commenting on the war, Vucic said that "the worst is yet to come." He also noted that he had not been in contact with the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, for many months.
"We said from the very beginning that we could not and have no right to support Russia's invasion of Ukraine. For us, Crimea is Ukraine, Donbas is Ukraine, and it will always be like that," the president noted.
Recently, Vučić called on Russia to stop trying to recruit Serbian citizens to participate in the war against Ukraine.
