President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has once again attracted the attention of the international community to the global threats related to Russia's war against Ukraine. During his speech at the Ramstein Defense Contact Group, he stated that at least a few hundred citizens of China were fighting in the ranks of the Russian occupation forces.
This news has become a serious signal for the world that Russia is trying to replenish its troops at the expense of foreign citizens. According to Zelensky, Putin was not satisfied with the involvement of the military from North Korea and now appealed to China to cover the shortage of soldiers. "Russia is clearly trying to continue the war - even at the expense of the lives of the Chinese," the Ukrainian president said.
At the same time, Zelensky noted that Moscow is actively trying to continue aggression, finding new sources of human resources for war. The president rhetorically asked how long Putin would be able to use the support of foreign citizens in his troops, as such actions only exacerbate the situation in the international arena.
"We need to work together so that this issue does not become a choice of Moscow, but the result of common pressure on it. Only in this way can the result be achieved," Zelensky emphasized. He also focused on the importance of diplomacy and international support of Ukraine to force Russia to choose peace and end the war.
Presidents of the United States, Europe and NATO are actively supporting Ukraine, constantly raising defense costs and facilitating the development of defense industries. Zelensky thanked the international partners for solidarity and called for further strengthening of defensive positions at all levels.
Russia, trying to fill in numerical losses, clearly faces the difficulties in the war, and thus uses any opportunities, including the involvement of foreign citizens in its hostilities. Chinese participation in the war, although it remains in the shade, but has serious consequences for stability in the region and in the world as a whole. Now the task of the international community is to take measures to convince Russia to get out of this conflict through diplomatic channels, while maintaining security for all peoples under threat.
