UNITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 29th September, 2018) Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday denied knowledge of any suspension of agreements with India in the defense industry sector.
"As for commercial contracts that are being discussed in other [military] spheres, I have no information on any deadlines or proposals to delay or freeze anything," he told reporters in New York.
A Russian newspaper, Izvestiya, cited sources who claimed India had delayed on payments for most of Russian arms deliveries due since last April. They blamed the delay on US sanctions on Russian weapon-makers.
