The United States finds it "disturbing" that Chinese nationals are fighting alongside Russian soldiers in the war against Ukraine, U.S. State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a press briefing on April 8, APA reports citing The Kyiv Independent.
Earlier in the day, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Ukrainian troops captured two Chinese nationals who were fighting with a Russian unit in Donetsk Oblast.
"It's disturbing with the Chinese soldiers having been captured," Bruce told reporters.
"We're aware of those reports that Ukraine captured two Chinese citizens fighting on behalf of Russia in Ukraine."
Bruce also said North Korea's direct involvement in the war was disturbing and highlighted China's role in supporting Moscow's full-scale war.
"China is a major enabler of Russia in the war in Ukraine. China provides nearly 80% of the dual-use items that Russia needs to sustain the war."
