India's Ministry of External Affairs declined to comment

India has become the second largest supplier of prohibited technologies to Russia. These include products such as microchips, circuits and machines. This was reported by the representatives of the USA and Europe, he writes Bloomberg.

India's exports of banned goods topped $60 million in April and May, roughly double from earlier months this year, and jumped to $95 million in July, officials said.

India's Ministry of External Affairs declined to comment.

Officials say that, according to the latest data, almost a fifth of the sensitive technologies that enter the Russian military-industrial complex got there through India.

The new data underscores the difficulties the US and its allies have faced in trying to limit Russia's ability to fight in Ukraine two and a half years after Putin's forces invaded. The export of most of these dual-use items directly to Russia is prohibited, so the country buys them from third countries — sometimes from unwitting subsidiaries of Western firms or intermediary networks." - it is written on the website of the information agency.

The publication notes that India's role in supplying such goods presents an additional problem, as US and EU politicians want to maintain a partnership with Prime Minister Modi's government, even as he maintains ties with Putin.

It also adds that India has also become a major buyer of Russian oil, despite efforts by allies to limit sales.
