War in Ukraine
Selenskyj complains about Chinese in Russian armed forces
Russia and Ukraine not only use arms deliveries of their allies in the war, and foreign citizens also fight for both sides. Kyiv has now presented new prisoners.
According to President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, Ukraine captured two Chinese citizens fighting in the Russian army. “There are the documents of the prisoners, bank cards, personal data,” wrote the head of state at Telegram and published a video with pictures of one of the prisoners. The capture is said to have been taken in the eastern Ukrainian area of Donetsk. “We have information that there are far more citizens of China in the units of the occupiers,” emphasized Selenskyj.
The President instructed the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha to request a reaction immediately from Beijing. For him, this was a clear signal that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not want to end the war and instead want to continue fighting. “This absolutely requires a reaction. A reaction from the United States, Europe and everyone in the world who want peace,” emphasized Selenskyj. The Chinese prisoners of war are therefore at the Ukrainian secret service SBU.
Ukraine has been fighting against a Russian invasion with western help for more than three years. Units of the North Korean army have already been used on the Russian side. According to their own statements, thousands of foreign nationals will voluntarily fight for Kyiv.
