According to multiple sources, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claims that two Chinese citizens have been captured by Ukrainian forces while fighting in the Russian army. This incident is believed to be one of many instances where Chinese nationals have traveled to Ukraine to fight as mercenaries.

1. Chinese citizens fighting as part of Russia's invasion army in Ukraine puts into question China's declared stance for peace and undermines Beijing's credibility as a responsible permanent member of the UN Security Council.

1. Russia's involvement of China, along with other countries, whether directly or indirectly, in this war in Europe is a clear signal that Putin intends to do anything but end the war. He is looking for ways to continue fighting.
2. I have instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to immediately contact Beijing and find out how China is going to react to this.
3. I think that we should remember that there were over 90 Indians last year who were fighting in the Russian army and in fact were duped into joining the army and were sent to the front in Ukraine and the Indian government had to exert I think quite a lot of efforts to get them out.
