Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said that his country will participate in ensuring the security of Ukraine in the event of a peaceful settlement and a ceasefire.
According to the American television channel CNN, Ishiba made the relevant statement yesterday, August 19.
"We'll thoroughly discuss what our nation can and should do, including from the perspectives of laws and capabilities, and play an appropriate role," Ishiba said during a conversation with journalists.
He emphasized that Japan is not currently at a stage where it can provide detailed information about the support that the country is ready to provide to Ukraine.
CNN notes that although Japan is not an official member of NATO, it cooperates closely with the countries of the alliance. Ishiba's comment is an indicator of how many Western countries are ready to help Ukraine in the event of future aggression from russia after a possible peace.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, yesterday, August 19, the US announced that the administration of President Donald Trump does not rule out providing air support as part of future security guarantees for Ukraine.
Recall, on August 17, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron stated that the "Coalition of the Willing" is ready to deploy troops to Ukraine to ensure security after a possible ceasefire.
