The Security Service of Ukraine held a press conference with two Chinese individuals who joined Russian military units and were taken prisoner.

The Security Service of Ukraine held a press conference in Kyiv on the 14th, with the individuals present, regarding the Chinese nationals in their 20s and 30s who were captured in the eastern Donetsk region while joining Russian military units.

A man in his 30s revealed that the opportunity to join the Russian military came from seeing an advertisement for the Russian army on the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok, where he learned that the monthly income would be about 200,000 rubles, approximately 350,000 yen in Japanese currency, and said he found it appealing.

This man reportedly lost his job due to the impact of the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

On the other hand, the man in his twenties stated that he received a card from the Russian side which could be used for a reward of 200,000 rubles, but he said, I couldnt use it because it was taken away.

On top of that, I have not killed anyone

After being in the training camp for a month, they went to the front line but surrendered in three days, it was emphasized.

And the two of them said things like We gained nothing and truly regret it and Real war was different from what you see in movies and TV, expressing their desire to return to China.

President Zelensky pointed out that over 150 Chinese individuals have joined Russian military units and has urged the Chinese government to take action. In response, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that they are verifying the situation and have urged their citizens to avoid participating in any military actions.
