The report by Reuters that India has provided military assistance to Ukraine is inaccurate : India
New Delhi – The Indian government has firmly rejected the report by Reuters alleging that artillery shells were dispatched from India to Ukraine. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated, we are aware of the Reuters report. This is both fictitious and misleading. The report claims a violation of regulations, but no such violation exists. India adheres strictly to international law concerning military exports, and our track record is exemplary.

A Reuters report claims that Ukraine is utilizing Indian artillery in its conflict with Russia. While India had sold these weapons to European countries, it is now reported that Ukraine is using them. The article also asserts that India has not attempted to prevent this despite objections from Russia.
Editorial PerspectiveIt is important to investigate whether European nations are attempting to drive a wedge between India and Russia by disseminating such reports through outlets like Reuters ! |
