Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that Chinese citizens are working at a drone production site in Russia and suggested that Moscow may have “stolen” drone technology from China
His comments, made during a press conference in Kyiv on Tuesday, mark a fresh escalation in allegations against Beijing.
Earlier this month, Zelenskyy accused China of supplying weapons and gunpowder to Russia—claims that Beijing has denied. He also suggested that Russia had recruited Chinese nationals through social media to fight in its armed forces, adding that Kyiv was investigating whether these individuals were acting under official Chinese instructions.
China, which describes itself as neutral in the conflict, responded by urging all parties to avoid “irresponsible remarks.” Nevertheless, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry summoned the Chinese ambassador, expressing “serious concerns” about the involvement of Chinese citizens and companies in the war.
In a statement, Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Yevhen Perebyinis called on Beijing to cease any support for Russia’s military aggression. Zelenskyy, for his part, said Ukrainian officials would share detailed findings with China’s government, including information from Ukraine’s Security Service about Chinese citizens at the drone factory.
While both Russia and China have yet to comment, the allegations come at a sensitive moment in international efforts to end the war. Kyiv’s assertions could test Beijing’s stance as it continues to advocate for a negotiated peace, while its partnership with Moscow faces increasing scrutiny.
