Chinese military are captured in Ukraine, Zelenski announced
President Volodimir Zelenski said six Chinese troops fought with the Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk sector, two of which were captured, Ukrinform reported.
The Head of State announced this information during a joint press conference with Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever.
« We have captured Chinese troops on the territory of Ukraine. Ukrainians in Donetsk region, Tarasovka and Belogoveno, have entered a fight with six Chinese troops, two of whom have been captured. There are relevant documents – passports, even credit cards. They are Chinese citizens. I think this is a very important point. »
He noted that China’s accession to North Korea and Iran in their support for Russian aggression against Ukraine should make Ukrainian partners rethink their rhetoric with Beijing.

« The North Koreans were fighting against us in the Kursk region. The Chinese are fighting in Ukraine. I think this is a very important point that we need to discuss with our partners. I think it is urgent. I understand that we are a strength, but we cannot fight many countries at the same time, » said the Ukrainian leader.
He stressed that he hoped that after this situation, « Americans will start talking more to the Ukrainians. » « We hope that the Chinese side will also answer. I have assigned the foreign ministers and defense to contact our Chinese colleagues to give us an explanation for their actions, » Zelenski added.
