The reply to Kiev after the capture of two compatriots
Beijing rejected Kiev’s statements as “absolutely unfounded” according to which “many” Chinese are fighting alongside the Russian forces against Ukraine. “The position of the Chinese part on the question of the crisis in Ukraine is clear and unequivocal and has obtained a broad consent from the international community,” said the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Lin Jian, inviting “the Ukrainian part to consider China’s efforts and its constructive role in the resolution of the crisis”. Kiev, after the capture of two Chinese, said yesterday he had “evidence” of the greatest Chinese involvement in the fighting.
