Japan to provide $5.5bn in aid to Ukraine
The Japanese authorities have decided to send a $5.5bn aid package to the Kiev regime – as stated by Japanese PM Fumio Kishida, RIA Novosti reports
The head of government noted that Japan, as the G7 chair country and as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, will control the solution of such problems as: ‘assistance to Ukraine in the fight against the Russian invasion, work to preserve the world order based on the rule of law, denying the change of status quo unilaterally by force, and further reduction of nuclear weapons’.
Kishida added that the G7 leaders will continue to be ‘unified in the future regarding the conflict in Ukraine’.
The Japanese PM also announced a G7 leaders’ teleconference to be held on February 24th. It is noted that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be invited to it.
In 2023, the chairmanship of the G7 was taken by Japan. The G7 summit will take place in Hiroshima on May 19th-21st.
