At least a few hundred Chinese nationals are fighting the Russian army in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenky said the Allies’ Assembly because he demanded another air defense for Kiev and more military pressure on Russia.
“This means that Russia is obviously trying to extend the war – even with Chinese lives,” Zelenky said on Friday at an online address at a group of contractual defense contracts in Brussels.
Zelenskiy tried to gain further control of Chinese support for Moscow since the captivity of two Chinese citizens fighting next to the Russian army in Ukraine at the beginning of this week, after which the Ukrainian leader said that Russia actively accepts Chinese men through a social media campaign.
The new estimate of Zelenskiy overcame the number that he announced two days ago and said that Kyiv intelligence had identified at least 155 Chinese fighting for Russia. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Linan rejected the demands on a large number of Chinese fighting along with Moscow soldiers as unfounded on Wednesday, while the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment.
The new solid criticism of the China of the Ukrainian President comes in the middle of tense relations between Kiev and Washington. Ukraine hopes for continuing military support for American administration Donald Trump, which took a difficult attitude to Beijing.
Despite the efforts of Trump to mediate a partial ceasefire in Ukraine, Russia continues to start air attacks on Earth. Kyiv lacks sufficient weapons to bounce all Russian attacks from heaven, Zelenka said on Friday.
This forced Ukraine to rotate its several Western air defense systems across the country to ensure temporary coverage of different cities, he said. The Ukrainian leader called on allies to provide ten other Patriot Air Defense systems.
