Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that at least 155 Chinese citizens are actively fighting alongside the Russian military in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. He emphasized that this number could be significantly higher based on available intelligence.
During a press briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday, Zelenskyy disclosed that Ukraine’s security services had gathered personal data—including names and passport details—of the identified individuals. He added that some of these Chinese fighters were recently captured on Ukrainian soil.
“There are 155 individuals with confirmed identities—names and passports—currently fighting against Ukraine. We suspect that the actual figure is much higher,” said President Zelenskyy.
China’s Alleged Involvement and Social Media Recruitment
According to Zelenskyy, Russia has been recruiting Chinese nationals through social media platforms, and he believes Chinese authorities are aware of these activities. He further noted that Ukraine is investigating whether these fighters are receiving direct orders or guidance from Beijing.
This comes just a day after the Ukrainian military reportedly captured two Chinese combatants engaged in conflict alongside Russian forces on Ukrainian territory.
Rising Tensions in International Relations
The revelation adds to the already tense geopolitical dynamics between China, Russia, and Western nations. While China has publicly maintained neutrality in the conflict, such claims could potentially strain diplomatic relations and affect global alliances.
For context, you can read about China’s official position on the Russia-Ukraine war on BBC News and monitor updates from international bodies like NATO.
What This Means for Global Security
If confirmed, the involvement of foreign fighters—especially from major powers like China—raises serious questions about the global reach and complexity of the Russia-Ukraine war. It may also shift the narrative regarding China’s role in the ongoing conflict.
