Germany itself has come under criticism from governments including Ukraine and Poland for its continuing reliance on Russian energy imports.
Germany is debating whether to invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Group of Seven summit it's hosting in June, given India's reluctance to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine, according to people familiar with the matter.
Germany is set to include Senegal, South Africa and Indonesia as guests at the meeting in Bavaria, but India remains under consideration, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential matters. One of the people said India had been on a list drawn up before the war in Ukraine started, and a final decision hadn't been taken.
India was among the more than 50 countries that abstained from a United Nations vote to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council, and has not imposed sanctions on Moscow. It is a significant buyer of Russian weapons, which it says it needs to deter its neighbors China and Pakistan.
Government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said Berlin would present its list of guest attendees as soon as it is finalized.
