Among the European countries sending Indian munitions to Ukraine are Italy and the Czech Republic, which is leading an initiative to supply Kyiv with artillery shells from outside the European Union, according to a Spanish and a senior Indian official, as well as a former top executive at Yantra India, a state-owned company whose munitions are being used by Ukraine.
The Indian official said that Delhi was monitoring the situation. But, along with a defence industry executive with direct knowledge of the transfers, he said India had not taken any action to throttle the supply to Europe. Like most of the 20 people interviewed by Reuters, they spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

"It allows India to show partners in the West that it is not 'on Russia's side' in the Russia-Ukraine conflict," he said, adding that Moscow held little leverage over Delhi's decisions.
Inget nytt här heller, således. Lägg märke till att 1:e putinisten Vijainder K Thakur då uttryckte en viss besvikelse i ett inlägg i musk-kloaken, refererat i artikeln:
F.ö. är själva citatet från mitt inlägg om självgående 105mm pjäser trams, i vanlig ordning. Den föregivna exporten av artillerigranater har ingenting att göra med Indiens anskaffning av ytterligare artilleripjäser.Vijainder K Thakur skrev:How did Indian 155mm artillery shells and propellant charge containers, land up in Ukraine with the AFU?
According to the Military Informant TC, most likely, the shells and charges were ordered from India by Slovenia, and then transferred to Ukraine.
My guess would be that these photos have been deliberately leaked to embarrass India. Which is not to suggest that India should not be embarrassed with its could not care less attitude towards weapons export control.
