China Condemns Zelenskiy for Saying More of Its People Fighting

China hit back at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy after he said Kyiv’s intelligence services identified at least 155 Chinese nationals fighting alongside Moscow’s troops, escalating a dispute over the issue.

“We advise relevant parties to have a correct and clear understanding of China’s role and not to make irresponsible remarks,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said Thursday at a regular press briefing in Beijing.
