In his talk with the NHK TV channel, Mr. Kishida noted, “There are fears that the situation in Ukraine will last for long. I believe that it is in this context that the G7 should unite again and demonstrate strong solidarity in relation to Ukraine."

According to the Japanese PM, the West should continue to impose sanctions against Russia. This topic should be discussed at the upcoming G7 summit which would become a very significant event, he believes.

"World leaders will gather here to discuss issues of peace and stability," the official added.
