Lynn, without naming Ukraine or Zelinski: “We advise the parties related to the role of China clearly and clearly,” said Lynn, without naming Ukraine or Zelinski.

Comments followed Zelinski’s statement on Wednesday Kiev has at least 155 Chinese citizens who are deployed to support Moscow’s invasion. A day before that, he claimed that Chinese citizens were arrested by the Ukrainian forces.

“The public participation of Chinese citizens in combat operations … is a deliberate step towards expanding the war,” Zellinski said.

In response, Lynn said that Beijing always guides its citizens to move away from foreign conflicts “, especially refraining from participating in the military operations of any party.”
