Kishida’s surprise trip to Ukraine comes just hours after meeting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
Kishida, who will chair the G7 summit in May, is the only leader of those countries who has not yet visited Ukraine.
Japan has aligned itself with the other countries that are part of the G7, punishing Russia and supporting Ukraine in the aftermath of the Russian invasion.
