Ucrânia captura dois chineses a combater pela Rússia

April 9, 2025 - As forças ucranianas capturaram dois chineses a combater com as forças russas no leste da Ucrânia, disse o Presidente Volodymir Zelenski.

He said on Tuesday that intelligence suggested the number of Chinese soldiers in Russia’s army was “much higher than two”.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Chinese troops fighting on Ukrainian territory “puts into question China's declared stance for peace” and added that their envoy in Kyiv was summoned for an explanation.

It is the first official allegation from Ukraine that China is supplying Russia with manpower. Russia declined to comment on Zelensky’s revelation on Wednesday.

However, China’s foreign ministry said it was “verifying the relevant situation with the Ukrainian side”, but that it had consistently urged Chinese nationals to steer clear of any armed conflicts.

It added that Kyiv’s accusation that more Chinese citizens were involved in the fighting was “groundless”, the BBC said.
