Beijing Challenges ‘Irresponsible’ Claims as Ukraine Asserts Presence of Chinese Fighters

Ukraine says Beijing is aware of the presence of Chinese troops deployed in the Ukraine War and may have given “direct or indirect permission” for them to be there, the Chinese Foreign Ministry responding to criticise what it called “irresponsible remarks”.

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Lin Jian again commented on the Ukraine War on Thursday morning, building on previous remarks on Wednesday where he denied Chinese involvement on Russia’s behalf. Apparently criticising Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky without directly naming him, Jian said “the relevant parties” should “not release irresponsible remarks” about China’s involvement.
