President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine announced that the Ukrainian military has captured two Chinese citizens who were fighting with the Russian army in the eastern Donetsk region. Zelenskyy stated that there may be more Chinese nationals among Russian forces. The Chinese embassy in Washington and the Kremlin have not commented on the incident. Zelenskyy has instructed the foreign affairs ministry to contact Beijing to discuss the situation. He believes that this incident is a clear signal that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not willing to end the war in Ukraine, despite ongoing ceasefire negotiations. Zelenskyy called for a response from the United States, Europe, and the international community to stand up for peace. This development comes after Putin sent a senior official to Washington for diplomatic talks earlier this month, the first high-level visit since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. The situation is still unfolding, and updates are expected. Chantal Da Silva reports on world news for NBC News and is based in London.
