SSU investigators talked to the first two captured Chinese nationals.
The video of the interrogation was published by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Censor.NET reports.
"We are finding out all the facts about the presence of these and other Chinese nationals in the Russian occupation army. Ukrainian intelligence is also working. As of now, we have accurate data on more than 150 Chinese nationals involved in the war against Ukraine. We know that there are actually more. Ukraine believes that such an overt involvement of Chinese nationals in combat operations on the territory of Ukraine in the war of aggression is a deliberate step towards the expansion of the war. This is yet another piece of evidence that Moscow simply wants to prolong the fighting," Zelenskyy said.
