Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Serbia for his first visit to the country, a nation that has maintained friendly ties with Russia. He was welcomed by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, who hopes the meeting will improve his standing with the European Union. Zelenskyy, meanwhile, is seeking to secure additional arms supplies from Serbia as Ukraine continues to defend against Russia's invasion. Serbia has balanced its historical and political links with Moscow against its aspirations for closer EU integration, a position that makes the visit diplomatically significant. The two leaders are expected to discuss bilateral relations and regional stability, though no immediate agreements have been announced.
