TG to/from LHR
The airlines you mention are neither direct or non-stop except EVA. I don't know what site you were on but the page you have shown seems strange. No regular Thai airways ticket has a baggage allowance of 20 kgs (23 is the minimum for this route in Economy Class) and booking these flights direct from TG would currently price at 43,520 THB (or 1,294 USD equivalent). I realise prices fluctuate and this is still more expensive than you mention for the other airlines), but if the site you're using is that far out I'd be checking elsewhere. (Hope I've got the date/times right?) -

Zelensky Accuses Russia of Recruiting Chinese Fighters as Beijing Denies Allegations
Key Developments: Zelensky claims 150+ Chinese fighters are serving in Russian ranks, citing captured individuals. Beijing rejects accusations, calling them "baseless" and warning against "irresponsible remarks." Kremlin denies Chinese involvement, emphasizing its "strategic partnership" with China. Captured fighters spark investigation, with Ukraine probing recruitment methods through social media. NATO allies meet in Brussels, discussing troop deployment in Ukraine for future peacekeeping missions. Core Analysis: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of systematically recruiting Chinese nationals to fight in its war against Ukraine, escalating tensions with Beijing. On Tuesday, Zelensky announced the capture of two Chinese fighters in Donetsk and claimed intelligence suggests over 150 Chinese citizens are actively serving in Russian military units. “These are not isolated cases but systematic efforts by Russia,” Zelensky stated, sharing a video of an interrogation with one of the captured men. Beijing has dismissed the allegations as “totally unfounded.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian reiterated that China is not a party to the conflict and urged Kyiv to avoid making “irresponsible remarks.” He added, “China has always asked its citizens to stay away from conflict zones and refrain from military involvement.” The Kremlin backed Beijing’s stance, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov calling Zelensky’s claims “wrong” and affirming that China remains a “strategic partner” and “friend.” Despite these denials, Ukrainian intelligence suggests that Russian recruiters are targeting Chinese nationals through social media platforms. Zelensky emphasized the need to prevent Russia from exploiting such tactics to prolong the war. However, analysts like Keith Kellogg, a former U.S. envoy, remain skeptical, suggesting the captured individuals might be mercenaries or volunteers rather than state-sponsored recruits. “The first report is always wrong,” Kellogg remarked, cautioning against premature conclusions. The controversy adds another layer to China’s complex role in the conflict. While Beijing has maintained a diplomatic partnership with Moscow, it has also sought to position itself as a neutral mediator. Critics argue that China’s actions—such as providing economic support to Russia—undermine its credibility as a peacekeeper. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha noted that the involvement of Chinese citizens “calls into question China’s proclaimed neutrality.” Meanwhile, NATO allies convened in Brussels this week to discuss troop deployments in Ukraine for potential peacekeeping operations. British Defense Minister John Healey emphasized the importance of pressuring Putin to end the war, stating, “We must act decisively to bring this conflict to a close.” Why It Matters: The allegations against China complicate its attempts to mediate peace while highlighting Russia’s reliance on foreign recruits amid mounting losses. If proven true, these claims could strain China’s global standing and deepen divisions within the international community over its role in the- 1
