Ukrainian President Zelensky has claimed Chinese nationals are working at a Russian drone facility and suggested Moscow may have obtained Chinese drone technology without Beijing’s knowledge, according to Al Jazeera.
This follows his prior assertion that China is supplying Russia with weapons and gunpowder, which Beijing rejects. Ukraine's foreign ministry summoned the Chinese ambassador to express alarm over China's potential involvement in the fighting, Al Jazeera reported.
Zelensky also claimed that Russia is recruiting Chinese nationals to fight, with Kyiv investigating possible links to Chinese authorities.
China and Russia declared a "no limits" partnership shortly prior to the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
