Japan Today writes about it.
Thus, the mayors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki called for ridding the world of nuclear weapons amid Russia's threats to use them in the war against Ukraine as part of the first meeting of the parties to a UN treaty banning the latest weapons of war. The three-day meeting aims to give momentum to the eventual elimination of weapons.
Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue, who is the group's vice president, said that in the face of the Russian nuclear threat, now more than ever he feels that the existence of the treaty is very important, since it is the only international document that can prevent military crises, rather than solve their consequences.
