[Key Positions]
Japan clearly refuses
- Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi's statement at a Tokyo press conference:
- Japan is not among the 26 countries that have committed to stationing forces
- The government has never considered dispatching the Self-Defense Forces to participate in Ukraine's "deterrent force"
Poland draws a clear line
1. Prime Minister Tusk previously stated:
2. Even if the conflict ends, it will not send troops to Ukrainian territory
3. It will only provide "logistical support" to assist possible international missions

On September 4, the Paris Summit claimed that 26 countries have pledged to deploy maritime, land, and air "deterrent forces" to Ukraine after the war, but Macron admitted that some countries have not yet finalized their confirmation. Japan, as the only Asian country in G7, and Poland, as a neighbor of Ukraine, refusing to join shows the strategic division within the Western camp.
Geopolitical Observations:
The withdrawal of Japan and Poland reflects two key contradictions:
- Geographical reality: Poland is concerned about directly provoking Russia and endangering its own security
- Legal constraints: Japan's peace constitution restricts overseas military deployments
- This public disapproval has once again raised doubts about Macron's advocated "European strategic autonomy" and weakened the actual deterrent power of the "Will Alliance."
