Ukraine Captures Chinese Fighters Allegedly Serving with Russian Forces

Ukrainian officials claim over 155 Chinese nationals may be involved, raising questions about China's neutrality in the conflict.

Ukrainian forces captured two Chinese nationals fighting with Russian troops in the Donetsk region, confirmed through personal identification documents.
President Zelensky alleges that these individuals, along with potentially over 155 others, were recruited as mercenaries rather than deployed by the Chinese government.
China denies involvement, labeling the accusations as 'without foundation' and reiterating its stance of neutrality in the conflict.
Ukrainian officials have summoned China's chargé d'affaires for explanations and highlighted the incident as undermining China's credibility as a peace advocate.
Zelensky suggests the captured Chinese fighters could be part of a prisoner exchange with Russia, while urging international allies to respond to China's alleged involvement.
