Zelensky Accuses Russia of Enlisting Chinese Nationals in Ukraine Conflict.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly stated that hundreds of Chinese nationals are actively fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. Speaking to allied military chiefs in Brussels on Friday, Zelensky accused Moscow of attempting to prolong the conflict by utilizing Chinese personnel.
This accusation follows earlier statements from Ukraine asserting the capture of two Chinese nationals fighting for Russia in the Donetsk region. While Russia has denied these claims, China has cautioned against making “irresponsible remarks” regarding the situation.
These developments further complicate the already protracted conflict, now entering its third year. The allegation of Chinese involvement introduces a new dimension to the geopolitical landscape and raises questions about the extent of international participation in the ongoing hostilities. The war has resulted in significant casualties on both sides, and ongoing efforts by the US and European nations aim to facilitate a peaceful resolution.
