  "account": "Japan's House Speaker Eisuke Mori expressed solidarity with Ukraine amid Russian aggression. During a speech at the Verkhovna Rada, Mori emphasized that Japan cannot remain indifferent to Ukraine's struggle against Russian aggression in the complex security situation of the Indo-Pacific region. Mori highlighted North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile testing programs as another source of concern.\n\nMori stated that Russia's barbaric actions aim to strip Ukraine of its identity and undermine the international order. He stressed that security in both the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions is closely intertwined, and any unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force must not be tolerated. Mori arrived at the Verkhovna Rada wearing a Ukrainian embroidered shirt, showing his support for Ukraine.\n\nUkrainian Verkhovna Rada Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk met with Mori and affirmed that Ukraine feels Japan's support through practical actions. These actions include strengthening Ukraine's defense of airspace and holding the aggressor accountable. Stefanchuk conveyed Mori's assurance of Japan's readiness to do everything possible to promote peace in Ukraine.",
