Ryzhkov was the first high profile witness to testify for Milosevic since the former Yugoslav president won back the right to lead his own defence earlier this month.
Ryzhkov, like dozens of other witnesses, had initially refused to testify after the court appointed two lawyers in September to defend the former Serb strongman to prevent his ill health causing more delays to the already marathon trial.
Ryzhkov said funding for the KLA -- which he called a "terrorist organisation" -- came from Europe and the Middle East, while he accused Germany of supplying their weapons.

Ryzhkov, one of the Republican Party's leaders, and Khakamada, leader of the Our Choice party, said that only by uniting could liberal parties hope to form a faction in the next Chechen parliament, which is due to be elected Nov. 27.
Ryzhkov and Khakamada's announcement appeared to be more symbolic for the prospects of uniting Russia's notoriously fractious liberal parties nationwide than likely to make a big impact on the Chechen elections.
Ryzhkov said that with the help of independent human right activists and organizations, the liberals would monitor the elections to register any fraud.
