00:00OK, how significant is it, though, the idea that there should be Chinese nationals fighting on Ukrainian soil, given in particular China's, they say, neutral stance on the conflict?
00:15Well, as I've already said, I don't believe China is neutral in the conflict. They have placed themselves very, very firmly on Russia's side. It is hugely concerning.
00:25You know, Ukraine is currently struggling to get more support from Western allies.
00:34You know, Russia has stated point blank that they will not accept Western boots on the ground in Ukraine under any circumstances.
00:43Yet we have already seen tens of thousands of North Korean soldiers openly fighting with Russia against Ukraine.
00:54We know for certain that both that North Korea is supplying ammunition on a regular basis, artillery shells in particular.
01:06And of course, we know that Iran is supplying Shahid drones, which are daily being used to fire on Russian or on Ukrainian civilian targets.
01:17So this would be a very, very worrying escalation.
