Bosnia and Herzegovina does not officially supply weapons to Kiev, but there are cases of Bosnian weapons illegally falling into the hands of Ukrainian soldiers, Russian Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina Igor Kalabukhov told Sputnik.

"The leadership of the Republika Srpska and its representatives in pan-Bosnian institutions are very responsible about the supply of military products from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Direct sales of weapons to the Kiev regime would make Bosnia and Herzegovina an accomplice to the anti-Russian coalition and undermine the friendly nature of bilateral relations. Therefore, as far as we can judge, any official supplies to Kiev from Bosnia and Herzegovina are impossible and are not being implemented," Kalabukhov said.

The ambassador recalled that there is a decision of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the ban on arms supplies to Ukraine and a resolution of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska on the military neutrality of the Entity.

He added, however, that "there have been cases of weapons of Bosnian origin illegally falling into the hands of Ukrainian militants," contrary to the contractual obligations of importing countries.
