Russian military personnel were trained in China in 2025 before some of them returned to fight in Ukraine, according to a new report.

Reuters reported that about 200 Russian military personnel participated in the training. Citing three European intelligence agencies as well as documents it said its reporters had reviewed, the outlet noted that the training focused primarily on drone warfare and was done under an agreement signed by the nations in July 2025. Russian troops were trained at various facilities, including in Beijing and Nanjing.
