US Senator Marco Rubio has reportedly warned Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar that any attempts to bypass sanctions imposed on Russia will be unacceptable. This message comes as India has lodged protests regarding attacks on its nationals allegedly working for the Russian military. The warning suggests US concerns that India may be facilitating Russia’s access to goods or technology despite international restrictions. India has maintained a neutral stance on the conflict in Ukraine, continuing trade relations with Russia, particularly in energy. The US is seeking to tighten enforcement of sanctions and prevent circumvention through third countries. The situation highlights growing tensions between the US and India regarding the ongoing war and India’s economic ties with Russia. Further details of the conversation between Rubio and Jaishankar have not been publicly disclosed.
