How your holiday diamond may be funding Russia's war

10 Oct 2023  |  Yahoo Entertainment  |  English  |  Sanctions

A significant portion of the world's diamonds originate from Russia, contributing substantially to the Kremlin's revenue amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine. Despite U.S. sanctions on Russian diamonds and Alrosa, the state-controlled mining company, sales remain robust. The European Union is moving towards a ban, but Russia is redirecting its trade through other hubs like Dubai, Mumbai, and Israel. The complex journey of diamonds, often reclassified in India, complicates tracing their origin. Major jewelry brands have pledged to avoid Russian diamonds, but the effectiveness of these measures and upcoming G-7 restrictions remains uncertain, especially without broader international cooperation.
