TOKYO: Japanese Prime Minister KISHIDA Fumio on Monday condemned the killing of people believed to be civilians in towns near Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
Ukrainian authorities said Sunday that the bodies of 410 civilians have been found in Kyiv-area towns that Russian forces withdrew from.
“This is an act of violation of international law that is a humanitarian problem,” Kishida told reporters at the prime minister’s office. “We must condemn it harshly,” he said.
“We will do what our country needs to do in cooperation with the international community,” he said, suggesting that Japan will consider additional sanctions on Russia.
