Ukraine has information that China is supplying artillery and gunpowder to the aggressor country of russia. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a briefing on Thursday, April 17.
"We have finally received information that China is supplying weapons to the russian federation. Today, we have general information from the Security Service, from intelligence about gunpowder, artillery. And I think that we will be able to tell about this in great detail next week... We believe that representatives of China are engaged in the production of some weapons on the territory of russia," Zelenskyy said.
The President also recalled that he had previously had a conversation with the Chinese leader, who assured that he would not sell weapons to the russians.
"But, unfortunately, we are now seeing different information. We already have facts about this work of China and russia to strengthen their defense capabilities, and these are bad facts," Zelenskyy added.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on April 8, it became known that in the Donetsk Region, servicemen of the Defense Forces of Ukraine captured two Chinese citizens.
And on April 9, President Zelenskyy said that Ukraine is aware of at least 155 Chinese citizens participating in hostilities on the side of russia.
According to him, Ukraine knows their passport data, age and some other information. He also named the units of the russian army in which the largest number of Chinese serve.
In turn, China called the statements about 155 Chinese citizens fighting on the side of russia "irresponsible".
