Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida
Japan will increase its financial aid for Ukraine to $600 million, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced Thursday, doubling the country’s previous $300 million given in financial support.
Kishida said the decision was made after Ukraine expressed its need for assistance due to the worsening financial situation caused by Russia’s invasion.
“Japan will continue to strongly support Ukraine in cooperation with the G7 and the international community,” Kishida told reporters.
The move comes shortly after the US and European Union announced new assistance to Ukraine and ahead of a visit by US President Joe Biden to the region, where he is expected to visit South Korea and Japan.
Kishida said Thursday he would discuss Japan’s position on the conflict during next week’s talks.
