Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed that two Chinese citizens were captured while fighting in eastern Ukraine.
According to Zelensky, his forces fought six Chinese citizens and took two as prisoners.
He has now ordered officials to get an explanation from Beijing.
“We have information that there are many more Chinese citizens in the occupier's units than just two. We are now finding out all the facts,” Zelensky added.
China is an ally of Russia and has been accused of helping its war in Ukraine.
But Beijing has repeatedly denied allegations that it has supplied Kremlin forces with weapons.
Zelensky accused China of joining Russia's war against Ukraine and said he expected the United States to react.
