The Prime Minister of Japan Kishida Fumio and the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy had a telephone conversation
The Embassy of Japan in Ukraine reported this on Facebook.
Prime Minister Kishida reaffirmed that Ukraine was an important partner for Japan, which shares such fundamental values as freedom and democracy.
"Japan, which is watching with great concern the increase in Russian troops on the border with Ukraine, continues to consistently support Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and doesn't recognize unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force," the prime minister said.
Kishida also expressed his respect for Ukraine, which, holding a restrained position, is trying to resolve the situation through diplomacy.
The Prime Minister of Japan and the President of Ukraine have agreed to continue cooperation aimed at easing tensions through diplomatic efforts.
"Japan is ready to provide assistance to Ukraine as soon as possible in the form of a loan of at least $ 100 million," Kishida said.
President Zelenskyy expressed his deep gratitude for this decision.
