Japan is poised to reveal plans at the “appropriate time” to back Kyiv against Russian, according to White House Indo-Pacific coordinator Kurt Campbell. Campbell said that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida “has a game plan and is already engaged deeply on issues in Ukraine.” Kishida emphasized the necessity of standing up to Russia’s actions, justifying that if Japan did not do so, Russian actions in Ukraine could be repeated in Asia, seemingly alluding to China’s pledge to reunite with self-ruled Taiwan, by force if necessary.
