While NATO is cautious about sending its troops to #Ukraine for training so as not to irritate Russia, China is doing just that - Chinese soldiers are already gaining experience in modern warfare, just as North Korean soldiers have done and continue to do.
A Russian soldier documents the recruitment of Putin's army with mercenaries from China who came to "fight against the nationalists." One of them is a drone operator, the other a sapper-engineer.
