Japan to accept wounded Ukrainian sdiers for treatment – Kyodo News

Japan will accept injured Ukrainian sdiers for medical treatment as part of efforts to support their war-torn homeland in its ongoing battle to defend itself against Russia.

That's according to Kyodo News, which refers to sources familiar with the matter, Ukrinform reports.

In a rare move, several sdiers will be accepted at the Self-Defense Forces Central Hospital in Tokyo as early as next month for medical care and physical therapy, the sources said.

The Japanese government is aiming to show a stronger commitment to Ukraine ahead of the Group of Seven summit beginning on May 19. The plan to accept wounded sdiers, including those injured by landmines, is in response to a Ukrainian request, a Japanese government source said.
