The US has sanctioned 19 Indian private firms and 2 nationals for allegedly aiding Russia's war efforts in Ukraine. The firms, along with individuals Vivek Kumar Mishra and Sudhir Kumar of Ascend Aviation India, reportedly provided Russia with restricted items, including US-origin aircraft parts. This move is part of a broader action involving nearly 400 entities across several countries, aiming to disrupt Russia’s military supply chains. These sanctions come amid heightened US-India tensions over recent allegations involving an Indian national’s role in a plot against Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in the US.
