Such restrictive measures must include "Russian Source" diamonds that have been exported from Russia as rough diamonds and manufactured (i.e. substantially transformed) outside of Russia. The US sanctions implemented to date have been ineffective due to the inclusion of the "Russian Source" loophole. This loophole allows for the continued flow of Russian rough diamonds to India, where they are polished and exported to the US as "Indian origin" polished diamonds. Money moves unimpaired from the US to India and then on to Russia. The net result is that there is no reduction in revenue to Russia. In fact, Alrosa's revenue for H1 2023 was the same $1.9 billion as H1 2022.
