Ukrainian Forces Nab Two Chinese Fighters in Donetsk
Picture this: deep in the war‑torn Donetsk region, Ukrainian troops unexpectedly snag two Chinese soldiers who had slipped into Russian lines. That’s right – two Chinese citizens caught in the act, ready to fight for Vladimir Putin.
The Zaporizhzhia Scoop
- Where it happened: close to the villages of Tarasivka and Bilohorivka.
- Who was captured: two Chinese nationals supposedly enlisted with Russian forces.
- What was found: ID papers, bank cards, and personal data – nothing but evidence of a covert overseas militia.
Zelensky Speaks Up
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy threw the spotlight on the incident, noting that “five other Chinese folks were probably already in the mix.” The Ukrainian leader stressed that the country, now “involved on the ground,” is just another chapter in Russia’s war saga.
“We need a reaction,” Zelensky insisted— “from the U.S., Europe, and anyone who’s serious about peace.” The statement rattled the international community; after all, China’s role is looking a lot like North Korea or Iran’s.
What’s Next?
- Security Service hold the two detainees. The Ukrainian state security apparatus is keeping a close eye on them.
- Foreign Minister’s mission: Andrii Sybiha is on his way to Beijing to figure out what Beijing wants from the situation.
- Ongoing investigations: Ukraine is digging deep—turned up documents, cross‑checked data, and is on the hunt for any other nationals that might have slipped over.
All told, the capture is a stark reminder: Russia’s war has started to “layer” itself on a global scale, drawing in sides less expected and heavier than the continent’s stakes. The world watches, the threat escalates, and Ukraine stays one step ahead with its prompt action.
