A new report has revealed that Huawei has just delivered a batch of telecommunications based equipment to Russia. The company had shipped these equipments to a Russian telecom operator.

The news arrives from sources close to the matter (Via ITHome). Apparently, the Chinese tech giant shipped telecommunications equipment to Russia’s VimpelCom (AKA VEON). The sources said that the deliveries were made under a previously signed contract, although, a new contract has yet to be approved. A couple of days ago, VimpelCom received a large batch of telecom equipment made by Huawei.

These are apparently worth around 15 million US Dollars, as per people close to the terms of the contract. As per the two sources, the supply contract was lengthy and was initially signed back on February 24. However, sanctions that were imposed caused issues in deliveries. As of right now, various governments across the globe has been against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. The US has banned exports of high tech products in the region, especially technology related to defense, aerospace, and shipbuilding.

Furthermore, these also included the supply of semiconductors, computers, telecommunications, and information security equipment as well. Back in February 2022, the US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security had also issued a clarification that the export or transfer of goods to maintain civilian telecommunications infrastructure will be excluded from this rule.

With border tensions between India and China rising, the trade relations between the two countries has also been impacted negatively. Now, Chinese networking gear makers Huawei and ZTE have been banned from the new telecom based government portal in India.

Due to deteriorating relations, the Indian government has banned numerous apps from China, along with a nationwide ban for certain Chinese products. Furthermore, consumer electronics makers from China also faced backlash due to anti China sentiments in the region, while the Indian government excluded telecom equipment maker Huawei and ZTE from its trusted telecom operator list that it released earlier this year.

According to a TelecomTalk report, the Indian telecom sector has witnessed high imports of products and components from China due to their relatively more affordable prices. Thus, a National Security Directive has been implemented to check the telecom sector and its use of Chinese gear. At the moment, carriers like Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone Idea are working along with international brands like Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, and others.

The government even launched a trusted telecom products portal as well, to offer clearance to trusted telecom products used by Indian carriers. This portal was officially launched back in June 15, and will require telecom operators to specify the products they want to procure and also mention the company they would source the components from. If a firm does seek to source gear from Chinese vendors, they would have to fulfill all requirements on the portal on the Chinese gear maker’s behalf and will face careful scrutiny from the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS).
