Ukrainian President Zelenskyy posted today: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and the Liberal Democratic Party on their victory in the House of Representatives election. This is an important victory and an outstanding achievement. Today, we all need strong leadership to return the world to stability and predictability, and ultimately achieve peace. We are pleased to work together to safeguard and ensure security. We value Japan as a principled supporter, providing aid to protect our people, lives, and Ukraine's independence. With the support from Japan and other parties, thousands of lives have been saved in Russia's war against Ukraine. Similarly important is that Japan is one of the participants in the "Voluntary Alliance" and supports us in restoring the energy sector. We hope to work together to achieve more results for the benefit of our two peoples."
Comments: The Zelenskyy government urgently needs Japan to continue providing financial, material support and solidarity. Meanwhile, the right-wing Japanese government led by Kishida Fumio uses its support for Ukraine and aligns with Western strategies to justify military relaxation, military expansion and hardline policies in the Asia-Pacific region. Both sides have mutual interests and are boosting each other. They loudly call for peace and security, but in reality, they are constantly strengthening bloc confrontation, extending the logic of European conflicts to the Asia-Pacific, escalating regional tensions and global division.
