India has increased supplies to Russia of limited critical technologies subject to Western sanctions. India's export for the Kremlin has become the second largest after China's. This is reported by Bloomberg.

For example, India's exports of microchips, circuits and machines exceeded $60 million in April and May - roughly double compared to previous months this year. At the same time, it is estimated that in July it jumped to $95 million, officials told Bloomberg on condition of anonymity.

According to Western officials, according to the latest data, almost a fifth of prohibited technologies enter the Russian military-industrial complex through India.

Due to sanctions, the export of most dual-use items directly to Russia is prohibited, so the aggressor country buys them from third countries, and sometimes from various subsidiaries of Western firms or through a network of intermediaries.

Journalists note that Turkey and the United Arab Emirates were two large transshipment points, but new hubs have also appeared. Among them, according to Bloomberg interlocutors, are India, Malaysia and Thailand.




Bloomberg points out that India's role in supplying such goods presents an additional problem as the US and the EU want to develop a partnership with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, which still maintains ties to Putin.
