I congratulate Ukrainians in Japan on the opening of another Ukrainian restaurant Zhytomyr in Nagoya. Firstly, it is beautiful, secondly, it is delicious, and thirdly, it employs our people who came under the protection program. In Japan, culinary diplomacy is one of the most effective tools for achieving political goals
