The Ukrainian president said he has instructed the minister of foreign affairs of Ukraine to ‘immediately contact Beijing.’
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that his country’s army has captured two Chinese soldiers fighting for Russia.
On April 8, on his official Telegram channel, Zelenskyy wrote that this happened on “Ukrainian territory—in the Donetsk region.”
“These prisoners have documents, bank cards, and personal data,” he said.
“We have information indicating that there are significantly more Chinese citizens in the occupier’s units than just these two. We are currently verifying all the facts. Intelligence, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and relevant units of the Armed Forces are working on this.”
He said that he has instructed the minister of foreign affairs of Ukraine to “immediately contact Beijing and find out how China intends to respond to this.”
“Russia’s involvement of China—whether directly or indirectly—in this war in Europe is a clear signal that Putin intends to do anything but end the war,” Zelenskyy said.
