Ukraine’s claim that significant numbers of Chinese nationals are fighting alongside Russia’s invading army is “totally unfounded,” a Beijing official said Wednesday.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Tuesday that the Ukrainian military had captured two Chinese men fighting alongside the Russian army in the eastern Donetsk region and had information that “significantly more” are with Russian forces.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said in Beijing that China has played a “constructive role in politically resolving the Ukraine crisis.”
Lin told a daily news briefing Wednesday that “the Chinese government always asks Chinese citizens to stay away from conflict zones, avoid getting involved in any form of armed conflict, and especially refrain from participating in any party’s military operations.”

The Z Man may be a crook but I’ll believe him over the Butchers of Beijing any day of the week. We already know that North Korea’s fighting there...and it makes perfect sense that China would be too. Remember...Russia,China and Iran are best buddies today. And that alliance has only occurred recently.
My guess is sure they have Chinese soldier on the battlefield. This is the next gen war. Of course they want people to learn the live combat conditions in Ukraine.
Is it a significant direct military presence?
Doubt it.
The real question is, what is the truth? The article comes from a lie factory, being the AP. The claim of ChiCom’s fighting with the Russians comes from a the propaganda ministry of Ukraine. And the denial comes from the Chinese Communists.
They all have their own motivations to evade the truth.
Personally, I don’t care if there are ChiCom troops there. Just end the damn war.
I was going to make a joke about Volodymyr Zelenskyy confusing North Koreans with Chinese but I decided to hold my tongue.
Anyone who believes any statement by communist China is an absolute fool.
China has held the record for being the most blatant liar in the world for the last 75 years.
The "proof" of Chinese military fighters is warmed over "proof" of North Korean military fighters which are actually ethnic Asian Russian fighters from Eastern Russia.
The Ukies used the same set of photos in both cases...go figure.
There are Chinese “mercenaries” there.
I guess this depends on what the definition of “significant” is.
Isn’t it strange how Chinese troops suddenly “show up” in Ukraine, just as Trump is pushing up tariffs and trade confrontation with China.
These deep state propaganda whores in the Ukraine regime will never miss an opportunity to sell themselves.
There are American mercenaries in Ukraine.
Who to believe? The Chinese, Zelenskyy, or the AP? Tough one.
The greasy little green t-shirted punk is trying to drag China into the war.
