Japan's funding for Ukraine to purchase military equipment may become a target for Russian attacks.

Foreign Ministry of Russia: Equipment purchased by Japan for the Ukrainian army will become a legitimate target for Russian forces

Russian State News Agency Moscow February 18th, 2023. At a press conference, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zarakhova stated that equipment provided by Japan to the Ukrainian army will become a legitimate target for the Russian military.

Zarakhova said: "Equipment provided by Japan to the Ukrainian army will become another target for the Russian armed forces."

Zarakhova pointed out that Japan hopes to join the mechanism of NATO to conduct military procurement for Kyiv, which will further deteriorate relations between Moscow and Tokyo.

She also said that if the West and Kyiv hope that Russia will pause its special military operation and observe how Ukraine is re-armed, it is meaningless.

Zarakhova at the press conference said: "Do they think that Russia will pause (the special military operation - editor's note) and observe how the Kyiv regime is armed? Of course not, they need to find some fools to realize their idea."
