Serbia’s Vucic expects changes on battlefield and in West's policy after Putin's speech

He said this at an arms exhibition in Abu Dhabi, RTS reports.

"Based on what I could see from Putin's statements, it is clear that he will continue to fight very fiercely in Ukraine, which, like the usual escalation of the conflict, will further complicate Serbia's situation in political, military and all other senses," Vucic said.

"This is what we expected, and I expect to see in a day, two or three, big changes on the battlefield and significant changes in further political actions towards Serbia, both from the West and from other international factors," the Serbian president added.

• On February 20, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic promised to increase defense spending to modernize the army.
