China and Ukraine are embroiled in a silent conflict between them. The reason has been Volodymyr Zelensky's claim about the presence of Chinese soldiers on Ukrainian territory. According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, two Chinese soldiers have been detained in Ukraine, allegedly fighting alongside the Russian army. He demanded an explanation from Beijing about the incident and called on the West to respond. He also published a video allegedly showing one of the Chinese prisoners. According to the Ukrainian head of state, Kiev has information that "many more Chinese citizens" are fighting in the ranks of the Russian army.
"There are three documents, even their passports, or even their credit cards. They are citizens from China. I think this is a very important element. I think the United States needs to pay more attention to what is happening today, and we expect that China will not be another country that supports Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. From the Russian side, this is another soldier after those from Iran and North Korea," said Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine.
China rejected Ukraine's claims. There is no basis for this claim, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said in Beijing. The Chinese government has always urged its citizens to stay away from areas of armed conflict and not participate in military actions by either side, he said. The People's Republic officially declares itself neutral in the war. It has already proposed plans for peace negotiations. However, Beijing has not yet condemned Russia's actions - commentators see this as indirect support for Moscow, writes A2 CNN.
Meanwhile, Russia has raised the alarm over a plan to land Franco-British troops in the port of Odessa. “Any presence” of NATO troops in Ukraine, “regardless of the flag, insignia and declared mandate, will be considered by Russia as a threat to its security and will carry the risk of a direct clash with the entire Alliance”, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a press conference. Zakharova recalled that on April 3-4, a meeting of the chiefs of staff of Ukraine, Great Britain and France took place in Kiev, Zakharova said, adding that the fact that no decision was made at that time had irritated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
