Ukraine Claims 155 Chinese Nationals Fighting for Russia in War

President Zelenskyy alleges Russian recruitment of Chinese citizens via social media, with Beijing denying state involvement.

Ukrainian intelligence has documented 155 Chinese nationals fighting for Russia, including passport details and military assignments.
Two Chinese nationals were recently captured in Donetsk, marking the first confirmed instance of Chinese fighters in the conflict.
Zelenskyy asserts that Russia uses social media platforms like TikTok for recruitment and claims Beijing is aware of these efforts.
China’s foreign ministry has dismissed the allegations as 'groundless,' reiterating its stance of neutrality in the Ukraine war.
Ukraine has proposed a prisoner exchange, offering the two captured Chinese fighters in return for Ukrainian soldiers held by Russia.
