Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country's troops have captured two Chinese citizens who were fighting with the Russian army in eastern Ukraine.
It's also not clear whether the Chinese citizens were fighting in an official capacity, or whether they'd joined Russian ranks voluntarily, as multiple foreign nationals have done with Ukraine's military.
His post was accompanied by a video of a man with his hands tied interacting with someone behind the camera.
Mr Zelenskyy claims the two men captured had Chinese identity documents on them, including bank cards.
It's alleged the Chinese soldiers were captured in Ukraine's Donetsk region, a significant part of which is under Russian control.
"We don't know how these these two individuals that President Zelensky referred to ended up fighting for the Russian army.
He said the Chinese government had been careful to distance itself from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. »
