During a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels, Japan's Defense Minister Gen Nakatani promised his Ukrainian counterpart Rustem Umerov additional supplies of Japanese Self-Defense Forces vehicles to Ukraine, as reported by NHK.
"The Japanese minister expressed his country's willingness to continue supporting Ukraine and outlined a plan for an additional supply of Self-Defense Force vehicles," the statement said.
The head of the Japanese defense ministry also condemned the expanding military cooperation between China, North Korea, and Russia, as it contributes to the continuation of the war and worsens the situation in Ukraine.
While the specific type of equipment Japan intends to provide was not specified, earlier reports indicated that Tokyo had previously sent approximately 100 units of vehicles from the Japan Self-Defense Forces to Kyiv, including military trucks.
