On January 7, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Uekawa visited Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and held talks with Zelensky, Prime Minister Shmygal and Foreign Minister Kuleba.
According to a report by Japan**, Yoko Kamikawa's trip actually contains two layers of intentions. One is to convey a message of "we are with you" to Ukraine as a representative of the Western world, because now the world has lost interest in the war situation in Ukraine, the US Congress has been slow to pass $70 billion in aid to Ukraine, and many European countries have only symbolically aided more than a billion dollars in military aid, but they have not involved in the equipment such as fighter jets, heavy tanks, and long-range artillery that Ukraine claims to need most. The significance of the Japanese coming to Kyiv at this time lies in the fact that in the context of the decline in the attention of all parties to the situation in Ukraine and the weak aid to Ukraine, Japan directly transmitted Japan's voice to the international community.
Another intention is that Japan wants to get a piece of the pie in Ukraine's post-war reconstruction. Some Japanese Sankei news analysis believes that the Japanese side learned in contact with the United States that the Russian-Ukrainian war will change in the near future, and the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine has been put on the agenda.
At present, Japan is already planning to hold an investment conference in Tokyo in a month's time, where Ukraine, Japan** and major Japanese companies will discuss how to rebuild post-war Ukraine. At this time, Yoko Kamikawa's visit to Kyiv is also to win more areas with dividends for Japanese companies, because for the Japanese economy, it is too much needed to inject vitality into the needle, and this time, the Japanese are betting on the huge market for post-war reconstruction after the war in Ukraine.
However, the Japanese people did not buy it, the reason is that the large ** in the Noto area of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan is still in chaos, and when Yoko Kamikawa was talking and laughing with Zelensky in Kiev, the victims of the Noto area were not able to look forward to coming to Tokyo **. Some Japanese netizens questioned Yoko Kamikawa's visit to Ukraine, saying that the Japanese Diet approved $35 million in aid funds for Ukraine, how generous, but the material aid in the Noto disaster area still has to rely on donations from people in neighboring areas, and the Japanese ridiculed the ruling Liberal Democratic Party for becoming an outcast.
This Russian-Ukrainian war is still one of the politically correct projects in Western society, before Biden ** raised money for Ukraine and ignored the derailment of the poison train, and then Kishida** sent money to Japan but ignored the financial needs of the disaster area, before Ukraine completely ends the war in the future, what absurd things will happen here?
