The Ukrainian military caught two Chinese men who fought with the Russian army in the Eastern Donetsk region, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday.
Zelenskyy said that a collision with Chinese soldiers near the villages of Tarasivka and Bilohorivka took place in the Donetsk region, in which six Chinese military personnel hired Ukrainian troops.
Zelenskyy found that previously captured North Korean soldiers fought in the Russia’s Kursk border in which the Ukrainian armed forces conquered territory while the Chinese were caught on the Ukrainian soil.
Ukraine has information that, in addition to the Russians in the more than three -year war, there is “significantly more” Chinese fights, said Zelenskyy and published a video of one of the men who were captured on X. Ukraine plans to “get in touch immediately and find out how China will react to it,” he added.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X that the capture of China’s declared attitude for peace questions and undermining the credibility of Beijing as a responsible constant member of the UN Security Council. “
China has provided Russia strong diplomatic support since it launched its full invasion of its neighbor in February 2022, which was widely criticized in the West. Beijing also contributed an economic lifeline through the trade in energy and consumer goods.
However, in contrast to Iran and North Korea, it is not known that China has made weapons or military expertise available, with the latter even provided for troops, according to American and South Korean officials.
Russia allows foreigners to work into his military, as well as Ukraine. The payment offered by Moscow makes the services for Russia attractive.

General Christopher Cavoli, US command leader of the US command, said on Tuesday that Ukraine has caused a large number of Russian losses in “good defense sites” in the past few weeks.
“I do not see that the Ukrainians are in an immediate danger of a breakdown. I see the Russians who are struggling to achieve the kind of profits they achieved in autumn,” said Cavoli at a hearing from the US committee for armed forces.
