as an important global arms manufacturer, india has a huge weapons production capacity. however, in recent years, its arms trade behavior has attracted great attention from the international community. according to the latest disclosure by reuters, indian arms manufacturers have sold some of their ammunition to european customers, and then transferred them from europe to ukraine. this behavior has triggered protests from russia, but india has not taken any action to stop it.
specifically, reuters reported that ammunition from india has entered ukraine through european countries, including italy and the czech republic. the czech republic, as a member of the european union, is leading an operation to supply ammunition to kiev from outside the eu. this action has attracted international attention and angered russia.
two indian government and two indian defense industry sources said only a small amount of the ammunition used by ukraine was produced in india, accounting for only 1% of the total weapons ukraine has imported since the conflict broke out. indian officials noted that they are closely monitoring developments but are not taking any action to restrict supplies to europe.
however, behind this incident lies a deeper international political situation. the russian foreign ministry said that india's sale of ammunition "violated international law" and urged india to stop such behavior. this shows that the tension in international relations has risen to a new level in the russian-ukrainian war.
it should be noted that in international relations, interests and power are interrelated. when a country provides weapons, it often means that it exerts some kind of influence on the other party. therefore, india's behavior involves not only the military level, but also the political level of interest game.
