Japan Foreign Minister Kamikawa pledges $37 mil. aid for Ukraine drone detection NHK

Japanese Foreign Minister Kamikawa Yoko has met her Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba in Kyiv, pledging a contribution of 37 million dollars for providing the country with a drone detection system.

The meeting took place on Sunday for about 90 minutes.

Kuleba said at the onset of the talks that Japan's invitation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to last year's Group of Seven Hiroshima Summit is highly recognized.

Kamikawa conveyed her country's continued support for Ukraine. She said the 37-million-dollar contribution will be made through a NATO fund. Tokyo will also provide five gas turbine power generators to help Ukrainians make it through the winter and give education and healthcare assistance for women and children.

A joint news conference by the ministers was held in an underground shelter as air raid sirens went off during their meeting.

Kamikawa strongly condemned continued missile and drone attacks by Russia. She expressed Tokyo's resolve to continue supporting Ukraine so that the country can regain peace.

Kamikawa's visit comes as some observers point to "fatigue" among Western countries in their support for Ukraine.
