Talk about being a “decisive enabler”: India has increased its imports of Russian oil by approximately 1,800% since before the war in Ukraine began.
— While India's increase was substantial, China only increased its Russian oil imports by 43% during the same period.
— India's increased imports have compensated for almost 70% of Russia's revenue loss from the European Union.
— India's purchases have put $37 billion into Moscow's coffers, undermining Western sanctions aimed at isolating Russia economically.

Despite denials from both China and Cambodia, evidence suggests China is developing a naval base at Ream.
— In 2020, Cambodia demolished American-funded buildings at Ream after withdrawing a request for US help in refurbishing the base.
— China has since been constructing new facilities at Ream, including a large pier and drydock. Since December 2023, two Chinese warships have been docking at Ream almost daily.
— The article states that the newly constructed pier at Ream Naval Base is "aircraft carrier-ready."
— Ream's location near vital sea lanes makes it strategically significant for China's naval ambitions. Its position near the Gulf of Thailand and the Malacca Strait gives access to crucial shipping lanes.
— Ream base is reportedly 80% complete and expected to be finished by the end of the year. The base could allow China to project naval power far from its shores, supporting Beijing's ambitions for a blue-water navy.
— Nearby, a Chinese company has also constructed a long runway capable of accommodating bombers, officially for tourism purposes.

— The Hellenic Navy has turned down four LCS frigates, while the Army rejected 164 Bradley IFVs.
— The Air Force is also expected to decline the offer of C-130-H aircraft.
— These decisions stem from the older versions of the equipment requiring substantial investments to become operational.
