In Washington, information was perceived with anxiety that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were captured by two Chinese citizens who fought on the side of the Russian Federation. US State Department Representative Temmy Bruce stated that the United States is aware of the incident and considers the participation of Chinese citizens in hostilities as another evidence of Moscow's support by Beijing.
During a briefing, Bruce said on April 8:
“It is disturbing. North Korea is disturbing. The reports of capturing Chinese soldiers are disturbed. "
These are two Chinese, who, according to the Ukrainian side, fought against the Armed Forces of Russian armed forces. According to the spokeswoman, the United States has information about this case and watch the situation carefully.
Temmy Bruce also stressed that China plays a key role in the logistics of Russia's military machine. According to her, Beijing supplies about 80% of double -use goods needed by Moscow to fight.
Double -use products are products that can have both civilian and military use. It is, in particular, about electronics, circuits, drones, communication equipment, navigation, technological equipment, etc.
"China is Russia's main assistant in its war in Ukraine," the spokeswoman said.
Although China officially recognizes Russia's military support in the war against Ukraine, the emergence of China's citizens in the enemy's ranks may indicate a new level of involvement. Currently, it is unclear whether we are talking about mercenaries or personnel who are unofficially acting.
In any case, this incident can have serious consequences-both in the context of international sanctions and diplomatic relations. The United States has repeatedly warned China about the "consequences" for providing military assistance to the Kremlin.
Against the background of this incident in Washington, calls for tougher China's tougher policies are becoming increasingly louder. Temmy Bruce mentioned the words of former President Donald Trump, who recently stated that the partnership between Beijing and Moscow would only "promote global instability" and jeopardize the security of the United States and the entire event.
"This will make the US and other countries less safe, less protected and less prosperous," Trump said.
