Ukraine's president is set to travel to Hiroshima to make an in-person plea for more Western weapons and help in face of Russian onslaught.
HIROSHIMA, Japan — With Russia’s war on Ukraine nearing a potential inflection point, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to travel to Japan this weekend to address U.S. President Joe Biden and other G-7 leaders, drawing on this city’s tragic history as a backdrop for his latest plea to secure more military and financial support.
The anticipated announcements of additional export controls and sanctions against several hundred Russian entities, outlined by a U.S. official on Thursday, followed a visit by G-7 leaders to Hiroshima’s “hypocenter,” the spot the U.S. detonated an atomic bomb some 78 years ago. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida chose to host the annual meeting of the world’s leading democracies in Hiroshima to affirm the importance of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. Moscow’s saber-rattling over nuclear weapons, China’s growing hawkishness toward Taiwan and North Korea’s revived missile test program are stoking new fears about another nuclear holocaust in our time.
The G7’s rejection of any challenges to that status quo is, Imai continued, “not just a message for Vladimir Putin,” the Russian president, but also for Chinese leader Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. “The war in Ukraine has clearly shown that regional crises have global ramifications,” Imai said.
