Zelensky says 155 Chinese fight for Russia in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Zelensky claims 155 Chinese citizens are fighting alongside Russia in Ukraine, citing passport data. This follows Beijing's denial of any large-scale involvement of its citizens in the conflict. He also stated that Russia is recruiting Chinese citizens via social media. Zelensky alleged these recruits receive training and payment. He previously said that Ukrainian forces encountered and captured two Chinese soldiers. The US has called the reports "disturbing," questioning China's neutrality. China has been accused of supporting Russia with technology and dual-use items, despite maintaining a neutral stance. These new claims come after Ukraine reported capturing North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia, which adds to the conflict's international dimension.
