“China is closely following the current situation regarding Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, and it pays especially close attention to the reaction it provokes in the international community,” the minister said.
The head of the Foreign Ministry is confident that the sharp reaction of the world affects Beijing’s actions in the Asian region.
“If the international community somehow ignores or condones Russia’s actions in Ukraine, this may give the wrong signal that such a policy can be tolerated in other parts of the world, including the Indo-Pacific region,” the Japanese politician explained.
At the same time, the minister, in response to a question why Japan did not take the same tough stance against Russia in 2014 in connection with the occupation of Crimea, said that the world “has changed since the annexation.” Kishi stressed that Japan would continue to actively support Ukraine.
