  1. This is a huge turn of events if it looks like China is sending or allowing Chinese combatants to fight for the Russians.

    I would also guess these might be Chinese citizens who live near the Russian border and decided on their own to join the fight. Chinese gov might have no idea it’s happening.

  2. American trade war on China ramps up as zelensky starts demanding action on china’s involvement in Ukraine. Gotta say…desperate stuff.

    There’s thousands of foreigners fighting for Ukraine and many fought in kursk…doesn’t mean the e.g. Colombian state Is at war with Russia.. .

    Pretty weak stuff imo

  3. Well… Foreign volunteers aren’t news in this war. While NATO is worried about north koreans and the chinese, there’s other individuals of other random countries volunteering and going to Ukraine to fight for Ukraine or for Russia. Even people from latin america is serving as cannon fodder in Ukraine for both sides. Also… NATO equipment is being used there since day 1, so why now cry about chinese weapons? Let’s not forget what GM and IBM worked with the nazis in germany. The chinese is only playing the capitalist book, going wherever sells better.
    Wake me up when the chinese military forces officially goes for Ukraine… When this happens, the entire NATO will be already fighting there anyway

  4. Of all the efforts to involve third countries in this war, this is arguably the cheapest. From Iran to North Korea, and now China, at this very moment, China. And the media is certainly overplaying this one. Guess I wouldn’t call it manufactured outrage, but if you’re feeling outraged by it now, you’re being played. Like this guy here: “This is a huge turn of events if it looks like China is sending or allowing Chinese combatants to fight for the Russians.”. Does he believe what he says?. I wonder what is there after China card…

  5. How many ukrainians (including ones who had/have ukrainian passports) are fighting for Russia in this war? I bet more then 155. So when zelensky is anouncing that ukraine is assisting russia in the illegal invasion of ukraine?

    I just dont get it what Zelensky tries here to accomplish? Piss of China? The country where his only actual effective weapon is made – drones? Like whats the point?

  6. Personally, I think China sending some mercenaries is a good idea if it’s actually planned. Trump is trying to end the Ukraine war and get everyone to focus on China. The best way to convince Trump to divert attention to Ukraine and keep Russia from making peace with the West (which I honestly think there is little change of anyways) is to trigger Trump over Ukraine. If China can convince Trump that his best friend Putin is really their man, that will get Trump more involved in Ukraine.

    As an added bonus, it doesn’t hurt China’s “neutrality”. Foreign mercenaries are easily deniable as acting as state agents, especially if they are in numbers low enough to not make a difference.

    It’s probably a bad idea for Russia though. Putin doesn’t gain anything if his admirer Trump realizes that Putin wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire. Whatever mango Russia hard from China isn’t worth triggering Trump unless China is willing to commit through soldiers to matter.

  7. at first, the quote made it sound like China sent the PVA to fight in Ukraine, but it’s actual volunteers. not exactly news. I remember a year or 2 ago, there was someone who was posting onto chinese social media about how excited he was to volunteer. and then later posting about how much it sucked. netizens basically mocked him for being an idiot.

  8. Mercenaries of all nationalities have been fighting for both sides since the beginning of the war. Zelensky’s claim would then imply Nepal has joined the war against Iran because of all the Gurkha volunteers fighting for Russia in Ukraine.

    China is still doing the relative bare minimum for Russia in the war. It could backfire if Ukraine tries to escalate against China to get Trump’s attention and approval.
