Global Security Newswire, cites a Reuters report that Russia has delivered fuel for two Indian nuclear reactors, despite a request from the United States to delay the transaction.
The United States had asked that the delivery be delayed until Nuclear Suppliers Group rules were changed to unambiguously allow the sale. Some experts said the deal violates international law.
The delivery came as U.S. Congress is considering whether to approve a deal that would allow the United States to share nuclear technology with India. The Nuclear Suppliers Group must also approve the deal.
