This will become part of Japanese aid to Ukraine in the face of Russiaʼs 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. The money will also be used for the drone detection system.

With the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Zelensky agreed to start training F-16 pilots from August and "contribute to the strengthening" of Ukrainian air defense and artillery.
