Zelensky noted that <strong>there are more Chinese soldiers in the invading army:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Our military captured two Chinese citizens fighting in the Russian army.

A reaction from the United States, from Europe, and from everyone in the world who wants peace.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Beijing is not the first Asian communist dictatorship whose soldiers have participated in this invasion. It should be recalled that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/10\/19\/four-awkward-questions-about-north-korean-troops-in-the-russian-invasion-of-ukraine\/\">in 2024, Ukraine denounced the sending of soldiers by North Korea to support the invaders<\/a>. Let us also remember that in this invasion, <a href=\"https:\/\/kyivindependent.com\/half-of-russias-shells-used-in-ukraine-supplied-by-north-korea-the-times-reports\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Russia is receiving millions of North Korean projectiles<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/ukraine-says-russia-launched-8060-iran-developed-drones-during-war-2024-09-13\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">thousands of Iranian drones<\/a> to attack Ukraine, and specifically its civilian population.<\/p>\n<p>The involvement of Chinese soldiers in the invasion is not new news. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NAFOvoyager\/status\/1896281327965810755\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Images of Chinese soldiers in Ukraine were already released in March<\/a>. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that <strong>Western intelligence services are aware of this fact and its implications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Although some insist on whitewashing this undemocratic regime, it is important to remember that <strong>Communist China is a one-party dictatorship, a totalitarian regime<\/strong> that has ruled mainland China since 1949 without holding free elections even once, <strong>systematically violating the most basic human rights<\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2017\/12\/18\/the-more-than-100-million-deaths-that-communism-caused-divided-by-countries\/\">perpetrating one of the largest genocides in history<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By now, <strong>any democratic government should be clear that a dictatorship like that cannot be whitewashed<\/strong> by maintaining relations with it as if it were a democratic country and even favoring its commercial interests in the West, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/04\/07\/sanchez-copies-two-of-orbans-worst-measures-after-criticizing-his-hungarian-rival\/\">some European governments<\/a> are doing. <strong>Communist China's participation in the invasion of Ukraine deserves a reaction from the West<\/strong> in the form of sanctions against that regime and, furthermore, <strong>increasing the sending of military aid to Ukraine<\/strong>, whose people are fighting alone against soldiers from three dictatorships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ukraine is not only fighting for its freedom and independence, but has become the front line of the free world against the new barbarians<\/strong>, against anti-democratic regimes that believe that power should have no limits and that respect for human rights is despicable. <strong>If Ukraine were defeated, tomorrow's next invasion could be against a NATO member country.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/04\/08\/the-kremlin-launches-a-hoax-against-the-baltic-states-that-it-used-to-invade-ukraine\/\">Russia is already setting targets in the Baltic states<\/a>, in case anyone still had doubts.
