Japan to provide Ukraine with drone detection system
Leveraging its expertise in cutting-edge
technology, Japan
will equip Ukraine with an advanced UAV detection system, Japanese PM Fumio
Kishida said at the NATO summit in Vilnius on July 12, as reported by Japanese
broadcaster Nippon.
This comes as part of Japan's assistance to Ukraine amid Russia's military aggression. When Kishida visited Kyiv in March, he announced the provision of $30 million for non-lethal defense equipment through the NATO Trust Fund. Some of this money will now go towards the drone detection system.
On June 21, Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yoshimasa Hayashi, stated that Japan will use its expertise in construction to help rebuild post-war Ukraine.
Earlier, it was reported that Japan was in negotiations to supply artillery shells to the United States in order to replenish Ukraine's stockpile.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
