Ukraine expects further cooperation with Japan
We are truly very grateful to you personally, and grateful to Japan. We will be very happy to see your businesses involved in building Ukraine
Earlier, the President of Ukraine spoke about the possibility of expanding cooperation with Japan, particularly in the areas of drones and air defense.
Japan has supported Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, but due to its own legal restrictions, it does not supply lethal weapons. Tokyo has provided Ukraine with non-lethal military equipment and generators and has joined planning for postwar reconstruction.
