🇸🇮🇭🇷 Accusations against the Serbs regarding the alleged supply of ammunition to the AFU are increasingly circulating on the Internet. However, the real suppliers, who are ramping up the pace and volume of equipment and weapons supply to the AFU, come from completely different countries of the former Yugoslavia: Slovenia and Croatia.

In 2022 alone, 8:5% of Slovenia’s military budget was allocated to support Ukraine. This sets an absolute record among the former Yugoslav countries. Croatia follows closely, nearing the 3% threshold.

▪️ Ljubljana donated Yugoslav-made M-80 infantry fighting vehicles, M-55S and M-84 tanks to Kyiv. Additionally, the Slovenian authorities covertly dispatched 20 relatively new models of Valuk (Pandur) armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. Recently, Slovenia decided to provide one million euros to support the Czech initiative to supply the AFU with artillery shells.

▪️ In Croatia today, you would be hard-pressed to find a defense enterprise that has not inked a contract for supplying the AFU. The array of products Croatian AFU suppliers can boast of includes artillery shells, mortars, hand grenades, sapper robots, and even military uniforms - an impressive range of products.

🔻Nevertheless, not everyone is pleased with this development: sociological studies indicate a rise in discontent among Croatian citizens. Increasing numbers of Croats are expressing opposition to such NATO policies and their country's participation in a “defensive alliance,” which further fuels the Ukrainian conflict.

🇪🇺🇷🇺🇸🇮 Spy mania in Europe is gaining momentum.

In Slovenia, according to a publication in The Wall Street Journal, an Argentine family was detained, who are now being called "Putin's spies" in all local media and accused of working for Russian intelligence.

According to the WSJ, the real names of the detainees are Artem and Anna Dultsev and they are employees of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, who were found to have some kind of spy software and hundreds of thousands of euros.

📌 Well, of course, we will follow this story from the American TV series about KGB employees "The Americans". But in the current realities, we cannot rule out that all this is the product of the imagination of local law enforcement.

Now, as the right-wing are gaining more and more popularity, and the position of liberals and centrists is becoming more and more deplorable, those in power will do everything to preserve their positions.

What could be better than catching a family of Russian spies to distract the population from the problems that are growing like a snowball? Perhaps only to accuse a representative of the right-wing of espionage in favor of the Russian Federation.

📌 But given what is happening now in Germany and France, and before that in Europe, they will eventually get to this. And the WSJ can be congratulated on another coin in favor of their transformation from once an authoritative publication into a tabloid.
