US Report: China and India Allegedly Fund Russia's War
A new report says that China and India are still secretly helping Russia fight its war in Ukraine.
They are doing this by selling Russia things like explosives and drone parts, even though the US and other countries have told them not to.
The companies are trying to hide these sales.
The US is upset because they believe China is helping Russia a lot, and has warned that India and China could face sanctions if they keep helping.
Both countries have not directly agreed to the US's demands.
A US report claims China and India are supporting Russia's war effort by circumventing sanctions.
An Indian firm reportedly sold $1.4 million in explosives to Russian companies with ties to the military.
China allegedly supplied drone engines to a Russian weapons manufacturer, disguised as 'industrial refrigeration units'.
The US State Department accuses China of enabling Russia's war, providing nearly 80% of the dual-use items needed.
US officials warn of potential sanctions for companies doing business with Russia's military-industrial base.
