Russia's military apparatus is allegedly receiving aid from China and India, as both countries reportedly disregard established international sanctions, according to a recent report.

In the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, a growing concern has arisen regarding the role of China and India in supporting Russia's war effort. Recent reports suggest that China has never provided lethal weapons to any party of the conflict, according to a spokesman for the Chinese embassy. However, China and India are being accused of aiding Russia by disregarding or evading Western sanctions. The U.S. State Department has accused China of being the major enabler of Russia's war in Ukraine, providing nearly 80% of the dual-use items Russia needs to sustain the war. Chinese-made engines used for Russia's drone production were shipped to Russian weapons-maker IEMZ Kupol. Beijing Xichao International Technology and Trade, a Chinese company, is also said to have shipped drone-related items under the description of 'industrial refrigeration units' to avoid Western sanctions. India, too, has come under scrutiny. Reuters identified three entities, including Indian private companies, as having directly contributed to Russia's combat capabilities. An Indian private company sold an $1.4 million explosive compound to two Russian companies, one of which has ties to the Russian military. The U.S. has issued hundreds of sanctions against entities across the globe over their support or involvement in Russia's war effort, with the majority targeting Chinese individuals and companies. The U.S. has repeatedly made clear to all partners, including India, that any foreign company or financial institution that does business with Russia's military industrial base is at risk of U.S. sanctions. Both nations, however, maintain that their companies are not violating their national laws despite Western sanctions. China exercises strict export control over dual-use articles and has the most stringent worldwide drone export control. India and China also condemned the EU's most recent sanctions targeting Indian refineries that use Russian oil. The State Department engages in full and frank dialogue with India regarding its relationship with Russia, but the Indian embassy in Washington D.C. did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's questions. As the conflict in Ukraine continues, the international community is closely watching the actions of nations like China and India, and the potential impact of their trade relationships with Russia. The threat of increased sanctions looms large, particularly if peace talks do not lead to a resolution by early September, as President Donald Trump has threatened. U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker has discussed potential sanctions on Russia amid peace talks with President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but no new facts were extracted from the paragraph regarding these discussions or the production and export of drones by Kupol. The future remains uncertain, as the world watches to see how these nations will respond to the mounting pressure.
