'BILLIONS'! Zelensky DEMANDS Europe For Weapons Funding As Serbia's Vucic Questions Ukraine EU Bid!

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Belgrade on Saturday for talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, during which Zelensky called for billions more in European funding for Ukraine's domestic defence industry and acknowledged that 21 rounds of EU sanctions against Russia had failed to stop the flow of ballistic weapons components reaching Moscow from countries across almost all continents, including close partners. Vucic told Zelensky that he did not see a realistic prospect of Serbia or Ukraine joining the European Union in the near term, citing political obstacles within the bloc, and said he believed EU members would find reasons to delay Ukrainian accession as they had with Serbia's candidacy. The Serbian president said Belgrade would not seek to block Ukraine's EU membership bid or demand it be admitted first, but cast doubt on the feasibility of early accession for either country. Serbia, an EU candidate since 2012 that has not joined Western sanctions against Russia, hosted Zelensky's first official presidential visit as Zelensky also called for stronger restrictions on components reaching Russia and tighter measures targeting Russian energy revenues.
