“The “Chinese” issue is serious. There are 155 people with names, passport data - 155 Chinese citizens who are fighting against Ukrainians on the territory of Ukraine. We are collecting information, we believe that there are more, much more. These 155 have passport data, where they are from, their Chinese documents, age, etc. We also have their places of service: The 70th, 71st, 255th motorized rifle regiments, etc.” Zelensky said.
He noted that the Ukrainian relevant services understand the scheme of how they recruit them.
“One of the schemes is through social networks, in particular TikTok and other Chinese social networks, where Russians distribute commercials. Official Beijing is aware of this. Russians are distributing recruitment videos through Chinese social networks. Not secret recruitment is important. Maybe there is also a secret one,” the President said.
He also spoke about the scheme by which Chinese citizens get to the front.
