Why is the EU considering trade restrictions on Indian, Chinese firms?

Medial
The European Union (EU) has proposed sanctions on several companies, including one from India and three from China, for allegedly supporting Russia's war in Ukraine. The proposed trade restrictions aim to prevent European firms from engaging in trade with these companies, which are accused of contributing to Russia's military and technological capabilities. The EU's move would mark the first instance of imposing sanctions on mainland Chinese companies since the invasion of Ukraine. However, the issue of listing Chinese firms has faced resistance from certain EU member states due to their trade relations with China.
