Are Chinese soldiers fighting for Putin’s Russia?


Listen Later

President Zelensky says two Chinese citizens have been captured while fighting for Russia in the Donetsk region. But how did they end up in Ukraine and what does this mean for the future of the conflict?

General Sir Nick Carter, former chief of the UK's defence staff, is in the studio to discuss this latest development, as well as whether the world order as we know it has changed for good, and if the UK would ever consider compulsory military service.

Also, how has President Trump’s tariffs announcement been received in Ukraine? James Waterhouse sends us his thoughts from Kyiv.

Today’s episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.

The producers were Laurie Kalus, Julia Webster and Peter Karlsen. The technical producer was Jack Graysmark. The series producer is Tim Walklate. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
