In New Delhi, the European Union (EU) has raised concerns with India about some Indian companies that might be sending important goods to Russia, which could be used for military purposes. This would go against the bans set by Western countries on Russia. David O’Sullivan, the EU Sanctions Envoy, visited India in October and talked with Indian officials about ways to stop the illegal sending of these important goods to Russia.
O’Sullivan mentioned that he shared information with Indian authorities about the companies involved. Recently, the U.S. has imposed penalties on 19 Indian companies for allegedly helping Russia by providing technologies that could be used for military operations. Some sources from the EU indicated that two Indian companies are under specific restrictions for their exports.
O’Sullivan said that many other countries he visited have set up special systems to handle this issue. He emphasized that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a significant concern for the EU, and they will keep working to disrupt Russia’s access to important technologies.
He pointed out that Russia is paying much more for some items because of the sanctions. The EU is also working on its latest set of sanctions against Russia, which will target ships and companies supplying military goods.
The EU represents many nations and continues to monitor companies that might break the sanctions.
