firmly rejected the recent allegations by the Ukrainian Government that Chinese nationals are fighting alongside Russian forces in the ongoing Russia- Ukraine conflict.
The spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian, who spoke on Wednesday during a press briefing in Beijing, described the claim as “totally unfounded,” insisting that China remains committed to a peaceful resolution of the crisis.
“The Chinese government always asks Chinese citizens to stay away from conflict zones, avoid getting involved in any form of armed conflict, and especially refrain from participating in any party’s military operations,” Lin stated.
