In a story published on Thursday, Reuters alleged that artillery shells sold by Indian arms makers had been diverted by European customers to Ukraine.

The report alleged that the transfer of ammunition has been ongoing for more than a year, with Delhi taking no action to stop it despite repeated protests from Moscow.

India's foreign ministry has called the report "speculative” and “misleading".

The report "implies violations by India, where none exist, and hence, is inaccurate and mischievous", Randhir Jaiswal, the ministry's spokesperson wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
