Reuters: China secretly trained Russian soldiers who later fought in Ukraine

The Chinese military secretly trained about 200 Russian military personnel in China in late 2025, with some later returning to fight in Ukraine, Reuters reported on May 19, citing three European intelligence agencies and documents seen by the agency.

The covert training, focused largely on drone warfare, was outlined in a Russian-Chinese agreement signed by senior officers from both countries in Beijing on July 2, 2025. The agreement said Russian troops were to be trained at Chinese military facilities, including in Beijing and Nanjing, Reuters reported.
