The Japanese government said on the 18th that it hoped that the Japanese would immediately withdraw from Ukraine.
Cited by the Japanese kyodo news agency, Turkish media and CNN Turkey reported that a Japanese man who joined the Ukrainian foreign volunteer army said in an interview that he had discussed with his compatriots to go to southern Ukraine to support because he saw many women and children killed by the war.
The man's name was not mentioned in the report, and he was interviewed in English wearing a mask and said he had worked in a similar foreign force location in another country.
The man said he had intended to assist Ukrainian refugees, but saw Ukrainian President Zelenskiy recruit foreign volunteers and considered himself a soldier, so he decided to go to Ukraine to fight; although his family initially objected, they finally told him that they wanted him to return home safely.
