A high-ranking EU official confirmed that China trained Russian soldiers who later fought in Ukraine, supporting previous media reports. The training took place in multiple locations across China, with hundreds of troops involved. The official stated that some of these soldiers were directly deployed against Ukraine. European intelligence agencies had previously reported that China trained Russian forces sent to Ukraine. German media cited classified documents indicating the training focused on drones and electronic warfare. China has maintained a neutral stance since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, these allegations raise concerns about Beijing's support for Russia. The EU has sanctioned Chinese companies for supplying the Russian military. EU leaders will discuss relations with China in upcoming meetings.
The allegations highlight growing concerns over China's role in the conflict and its potential support for Russia.
