Speaking on Sunday, Zelenskyy said Ukrainian troops engaged six Chinese soldiers during combat operations, successfully capturing two of them. He added that Ukrainian officials have been directed to seek an official explanation from Beijing.
“We have information that there are many more Chinese citizens in the occupier’s units than just two. We are now finding out all the facts,” Zelenskyy stated.
The Ukrainian leader called on the United States to respond firmly to the development, describing it as a serious escalation.
China, a known ally of Russia, has repeatedly denied supplying weapons or personnel to assist Kremlin forces, despite longstanding accusations of indirect support for Moscow’s war effort.
“Russia’s involvement of China in this war in Europe, directly or indirectly, is a clear signal that Putin is going to do anything but end the war,” Zelenskyy said. “He is looking for ways to continue the war.”
Zelenskyy went further to assert that China has effectively joined Russia’s war against Ukraine and stressed that he expects a strong reaction from the U.S.
Throughout the conflict, fighters of various nationalities have reportedly joined Russian forces, often lured by the promise of significant financial rewards. However, such instances do not necessarily imply official backing from their home governments.

In contrast, North Korea has reportedly sent thousands of troops to support Russia’s military operations, according to Western intelligence sources.
In a related development, Zelenskyy also confirmed for the first time that Ukrainian forces are now operating inside Russia’s Belgorod region.
He described the move as necessary, declaring, “War must return to where it came from.”
