India supplies ammunition to Ukraine, which "annoys and angers" russia - Reuters

Artillery shells sold by Indian arms manufacturers were redirected by European companies to Ukraine despite the protests of the aggressor country of russia.

This was reported by the Reuters agency on Thursday, September 19.

The transfer of ammunition to Ukraine has been taking place for over a year, as evidenced by sources and customs data. India's arms export regulations restrict the use of arms by the declared purchaser in the event of an unauthorized transfer.

"New Delhi has not intervened to stop the trade despite protests from Moscow, according to an analysis of 11 Indian and European governments and defense industry officials, as well as a Reuters analysis of commercially available customs data. The Kremlin has raised the issue at least twice, including during a July meeting between russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and his Indian counterpart, three Indian officials said," the article said.

Reuters writes that after the publication of this report, India's Ministry of Foreign Affairs called it "speculative and misleading".

"It implies wrongdoing on India's part where there is none and is therefore inaccurate and harmful," ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in the fall of 2022, the aggressor country of russia developed a plan for the construction of enterprises for the creation of electronic components in India.
