"Fighters from North Korea, several African countries, Central Asia and now reportedly China have all appeared on the battlefield supporting Moscow’s war effort.
The growing presence of foreign nationals in Russian units is now creating diplomaticcomplications for the Kremlin after two Chinese citizens captured by Ukraine remained in custody for more than a year.
According to Ukrainian officials cited by O2, two Chinese citizens captured during fighting last year remain in Ukrainian custody.
Bohdan Okhrimenko, head of Ukraine’s Main Coordination Office for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, said the men were detained during combat operations against Russian forces.
He also suggested the captured fighters may possess Russian passports, although that has not been independently verified.
“The Chinese government has appealed to the Ukrainian side to adhere to international standards in the treatment of detained Chinese citizens,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said, according to Obozrevatel." msn
