From the New York Post: Two Chinese nationals were caught fighting for Russia in eastern Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday, warning of the growing friendship between two of America’s top adversaries.
The two Chinese citizens were “fighting as part of the Russian army” in Donetsk — and Kyiv intelligence indicates they may not be alone.
“We have information suggesting that there are many more Chinese citizens in the occupier’s units than just these two,” Zelensky said in a message on X. “We are currently verifying all the facts — intelligence, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the relevant units of the Armed Forces are working on it.”
Below is Zelenskyy’s full message, along with a video of a captured Chinese soldier.
Our military has captured two Chinese citizens who were fighting as part of the Russian army. This happened on Ukrainian territory—in the Donetsk region. Identification documents, bank cards, and personal data were found in their possession.

I have instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to immediately contact Beijing and clarify how China intends to respond to this.
Russia’s involvement of China, along with other countries, whether directly or indirectly, in this war in Europe is a clear signal that Putin intends to do anything but end the war. He is looking for ways to continue fighting. This definitely requires a response. A response from the United States, Europe, and all those around the world who want peace.
The captured Chinese citizens are now in the custody of the Security Service of Ukraine.
Relevant investigative and operational actions are ongoing.
