China has issued a strong warning following serious accusations made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. On Wednesday, Zelensky claimed that Chinese citizens were helping Russia in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Beijing Reacts to Zelensky’s Statement on Chinese Nationals
According to him, Ukraine had gathered information on 155 Chinese nationals who were allegedly deployed to support Russian military operations. He also mentioned that two Chinese individuals had been captured by Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.
This announcement caused a stir, leading Beijing’s foreign ministry to respond sharply. During a press conference, the ministry urged all parties—clearly pointing at Zelensky’s remarks—to avoid making “irresponsible comments.” The Beijing spokesperson did not name Zelensky directly but said that all involved should look at China’s role in the war clearly and responsibly.
Beijing emphasized that its government strictly advises all Chinese citizens not to get involved in any armed conflict abroad. Officials said that China has never supported or encouraged such behavior. In Beijing’s view, claims made by Zelensky are not only incorrect but could also harm diplomatic efforts and misrepresent China’s position on the war.

China Insists on Neutrality as Zelensky Accuses Russia of Pulling China In
President Zelensky did not stop at accusing China of knowing about its citizens’ presence in the war. He also said that Russia was dragging China into the conflict, suggesting that Moscow might be encouraging Chinese nationals to join the battlefield. This statement added more tension to an already sensitive topic.
In response, Russia denied all of Zelensky’s accusations. A Kremlin spokesperson stated that Zelensky was wrong to make such claims. He also said that China is considered a “partner, friend, and comrade” by Russia, and has always taken a balanced and neutral position in the Ukraine conflict.
China backed Russia’s response by repeating that it is not a party to the Ukraine war. Beijing stated that it did not create the conflict and is not involved in any military activities related to it. China also pointed out that it has always promoted peace and called for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
At the same time, China stressed that Zelensky’s public comments were not helping the situation. Chinese officials said that any statements accusing China of wrongdoing should be backed by strong evidence. Otherwise, such remarks only lead to misunderstanding and harm relationships between countries.

Zelensky’s Accusations and China’s Denial Highlight Growing Tensions
The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for more than three years, and different countries have reacted in different ways. Western nations have often criticized China for maintaining close economic and political ties with Russia. Although China continues to claim that it is neutral, many governments believe that this friendship indirectly helps Russia.
President Zelensky’s new claim adds another layer of complexity to the issue. If the report of Chinese nationals fighting for Russia is confirmed, it would raise big questions about China’s role. However, so far, China has denied everything and insists that it has told its citizens not to get involved in foreign wars.
After Zelensky announced the capture of two Chinese nationals, media attention focused on China’s role. In response, China once again repeated its stance: it wants peace and does not support sending people to war. Officials asked all parties, including Ukraine, to be careful about what they say in public and to avoid making accusations that might damage peace efforts.

China’s message was clear: “We are not involved in this war, and we do not want our people involved either.” By asking Zelensky and others to refrain from making strong public remarks, Beijing is trying to protect its image and distance itself from the battlefield.
This exchange of accusations between Zelensky, Russia, and China shows how complex international relations have become during the Ukraine war. With conflicting statements from each side, the truth behind the claims remains uncertain. But what is clear is that China does not accept Zelensky’s version of events and has responded firmly to protect its position.
