Russia/ Ukraine – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that the country has intelligence suggesting that about 155 Chinese nationals are fighting for the Russian military against Ukraine.
According to Zelenskyy, the real number is likely to be much higher.
He stated this while speaking to reporters in Kyiv on Wednesday.
Zelenskyy alleged that Russia was recruiting Chinese citizens via social media and insisted that Chinese officials were aware.
He added that Ukraine was trying to confirm if the recruits were receiving instructions from Beijing.
“The ‘Chinese’ issue is serious. There are 155 people, with names and passport details, who are fighting against Ukrainians on the territory of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said.
“We believe that there are many more of them.”
On Tuesday, Zelenskyy revealed that the Ukrainian military had captured two Chinese men fighting alongside the Russian army on Ukrainian soil.
