Zelensky alleges at least 155 Chinese mercenaries fighting in Russian army
April 10 (UPI) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his intelligence services had documentary evidence that at least 155 Chinese nationals were fighting on the Russian side in its war on Ukraine. "There are 155 Chinese citizens who are fighting against Ukrainians on the territory of Ukraine," President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters at a news briefing Wednesday night. "We are collecting information, we believe that there are many more. For these 155, we have passport data, where they are from, their Chinese documents, age, etc. Also units where they're serving, 70th, 71st, 255th motorized rifle regiments and others," he said. "After recruitment, these people arrive in Moscow, where they undergo 3-4 days of medical examinations and 1-2 months in training centers. They fight on the territory of Ukraine. They receive migration cards, as well as a card of the Mir payment system [Russia's equivalent of the Visa or Mastercard payment networks], for which they receive money, respectively." The men had been recruited through a Russian advertising campaign rolled out over Chinese social networking channels and more mainstream social media, including TikTok, which is Chinese-owned, using promotional videos, according to Zelensky. He added that "official Beijing" was aware of what was going on but suggested clandestine recruitment may also be happening alongside. The claims came a day after Ukraine said it had captured two Chinese citizens fighting for Russia in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, one of the frontlines in the war. Ukraine Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha summoned China's charge d'affaires to get answers, warning the discovery called into question China's claim to support peace and undermined its credibility as a "responsible" permanent member of the U.N. Security Council. China's Foreign Ministry said it was working to verify the reported involvement of Chinese citizens in the war with Ukrainian officials but rejected the claim there were many more than the two that had been captured. "Such claim has no basis in fact. Let me stress that the Chinese government always asks Chinese nationals to stay away from areas of armed conflict, avoid any form of involvement in armed conflict, and in particular avoid participation in any party's military operations," said spokesman Lin Jian at his regular briefing Wednesday. He said Ukraine needed to "correctly view" the clearly constructive role China was playing in working toward a political settlement of the Ukraine conflict, insisting its positive stance was widely recognized by the rest of the international community. Lin said he had no information on whether Ukraine had previously raised the issue with Beijing through formal channels. Ukraine's Pravda news website reported that one of the Chinese men had told his Ukrainian captors that he had paid $3,530 to an intermediary to enlist in Russian forces as a route to Russian citizenship and that he trained among a group of other Chinese in Russian-occupied Luhansk, which together with Donetsk makes up the Donbas region. The prisoner said some of his countrymen in the group were escaping "legal issues" back home in China and that he had traveled to Russia as a "tourist." North Koreans have also become involved in the conflict, with some 11,000 believed to be fighting Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk province after Kyiv invaded part of the region in a counteroffensive in August.

Zelenskyy: 155 Chinese citizens are fighting for Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reported that 155 Chinese nationals are fighting against Ukraine on its territory, although the number may be higher. Source: Zelenskyy during a press conference; Interfax-Ukraine Quote: "The 'Chinese' issue is serious. There are 155 people with surnames and passport data – 155 Chinese citizens fighting against Ukrainians on Ukrainian soil. We are gathering information and believe that there are many more. We have passport data for these 155 [soldiers], their origins, their Chinese documents, ages, etc. Also, their places of service: the 70th, 71st, 255th motorised rifle regiments and so on." Details: Zelenskyy stated that the Russians are recruiting Chinese citizens, particularly through social media platforms such as TikTok and other Chinese social networks. Quote: "Official Beijing knows about this. The Russians are spreading recruitment ads through Chinese social networks. This is not secret recruitment – that's important. There may also be secret recruitment." Details: After being recruited, these individuals arrive in Moscow, where they undergo medical checks for three to four days, followed by one to two months in training centres. Quote: "They are fighting on the territory of Ukraine. They receive migration cards, as well as [Russian] Mir payment system cards, on which they receive money." Background: On 8 April, Zelenskyy reported that Ukrainian troops in Donetsk Oblast had captured two Chinese citizens who were fighting in the ranks of the Russian military. Zelenskyy also noted that he had instructed Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha to urgently contact Beijing to determine how China intends to respond. The two citizens of the People's Republic of China were captured in Donetsk Oblast by soldiers from the 81st Separate Airborne Slobozhanska Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces and the 157th Separate Mechanised Brigade. US Department of State spokesperson Tammy Bruce stressed China's role in supporting Russian aggression after evidence had been published of Chinese citizens participating in the war against Ukraine. A Chinese citizen captured by Ukrainian forces during the fighting near the settlement of Bilohorivka in Luhansk Oblast revealed that he joined the Russian military through an intermediary in China, paying RUB 300,000 (approximately US$3,480). His motivation was the promise of Russian citizenship. He underwent military training in occupied Luhansk Oblast, where he had no interpreter, relying instead on gestures and a phone to communicate.
