Editor’s note: This story is being updated.

China is supplying weapons to Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on April 17, days after Ukrainian soldiers captured Chinese nationals fighting for Russia’s army.

“Today, we have general information from the Security Service (of Ukraine), from intelligence about gunpowder, artillery,” Zelensky said during a briefing in Kyiv.

“I think we will be able to say in detail next week that we believe that Chinese representatives are engaged in the production of some weapons on the territory of Russia,” he added.
