Thu Apr 10 10:57:53 UTC 2025: ## Kremlin Denies Zelenskyy’s Claim of Chinese Involvement in Ukraine Conflict
**Moscow, April 10, 2025** – The Kremlin today dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s assertion that China is becoming involved in the Ukraine conflict, stating that Beijing maintains a neutral stance. Zelenskyy had claimed that Ukrainian intelligence revealed at least 155 Chinese citizens fighting alongside Russian forces, allegedly recruited via social media. He further suggested Chinese officials were aware of this recruitment.
China’s Foreign Ministry countered Zelenskyy’s statements, reiterating its commitment to a peaceful resolution and its efforts to prevent its citizens from participating in foreign conflicts. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov echoed this, emphasizing that Russia is not involving China in the war and that China holds a “balanced position” as a strategic partner.
This statement comes despite the “no-limits” strategic partnership declared between Russia and China shortly before the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The differing accounts highlight the ongoing complexities and shifting dynamics of international involvement in the conflict.
