Japan to transfer 100 trucks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive 100 trucks from Japan.

This was reported on the website of the President of Ukraine.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky met with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida as part of his visit to Japan to participate in the G7 summit.

Zelensky praised Fumio Kishida’s personal leadership in mobilizing international support for Ukraine.

Ukraine’s President thanked Japan for the $7.6 billion package of financial assistance that was allocated earlier.

Zelensky also expressed gratitude to Japan for the decision to accept wounded Ukrainian servicemen to the Self-Defence Force Central Hospital for treatment.

In addition, 100 trucks will be transferred from Japan for the needs of the Ukrainian military.

Volodymyr Zelensky and Fumio Kishida discussed the further strengthening of the logistical and technical capabilities of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

President Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine counts on Japan’s support for the Global Summit on the implementation of the Ukrainian Peace Formula.

As previously reported, this is not the first aid from Japan to Ukraine. In March, Japanese MPs bought 20 pickup trucks for the Ukrainian military at their own expense.

Also in March, Japan allocated $30 million for the supply of non-lethal weapons to Ukraine through the NATO trust fund.

April, Ukrainian rescuers received humanitarian aid from the Japan International Cooperation Agency
