It comes after India said it was working to bring home citizens who say they were tricked into fighting for Russia in Ukraine.

The footage, shared by Russian military correspondent Pavel Kukushkin on his Telegram channel, shows two men sitting opposite each other at a table, communicating in Russian and Chinese via a voice electronic translator.

“The Chinese unit in the Pyatnashka brigade is growing. More and more [Chinese] are constantly arriving. Our Chinese brothers have also come to us,” a Russian serviceman said in the video published by Kukushkin.

The video comes shortly after India said it was working to bring home some 20 of its citizens who say they were tricked into fighting for Russia on the front lines in Ukraine.

Some Indian citizens recruited by Russia told AFP that they were promised roles that wouldn’t involved fighting on the front lines, but when they arrived in Russia, they were trained to use weapons including Kalashnikov assault rifles and deployed to Ukraine.

    Advanced chips is not something that you can just throw money at and figure it out. Even if they stole a machine, it would be impossible to operate it let alone recreate it.
