People in Japan donate ¥2 bil to relief fund for Ukraine

i wonder what will happen to all the funds if the nation fall and is taken over by Russia.

Meanwhile, e-commerce giant Rakuten Group Inc has separately set up a humanitarian fund, receiving over 1.4 billion yen by Tuesday. 

Rakuten CEO Hiroshi Mikitani also donated ¥1 billion yen.

It's not roubles, so it's safe in an account somewhere. Not pallets of cash either.

Beautiful to see.

The world is disgusted by fascist Russia and their invasion of Ukraine, killing innocent civilians, women and children, and displacing many more.

People around the world are reaching out to ensure, whatever happens, Ukraine will be rebuilt, and Ukrainians taken care of.

Pariah state Russia will be left to fend for themselves with an economy in ruins, for as long as the tiny tyrant is still in charge.

I have to say, I am happy to know that Japan is actually giving something to International people in a crisis. It's about time.

Japan has been in the top 5 foreign aid donor countries for many years.

Japan, a very helpful nation.

Japanese, they give where it needs.

Japan, my future intention.

Japanese, the respectful seeds.

Japan is a Cash Dispenser LOL..

When the war ends probably Japan will not be on the list of supporters of Ukraine as well as the Gulf War.

Japan contributed with USD 13 billion however the Kuwait Government didn't even list Japan on your list.

I have done my little contribution, but through UNHCR Japan.

It would have been nice if JT would have posted the bank account details for donations. And/or other relevant ways to make a contribution. The HP of the Ukrainian Embassy was down yesterday, but fortunately a JT reader posted the account info (thanks!) so I could make a small contribution.

Posters criticizing the Japanese for their donating spirit, just get off your high horse and make a donation yourself.

I'll do my part, but something closer to home, Like Good Neighbors Japan.

Each to his own, I say.

The Ukranians probably would like some ammunition and anti-tank weapons before cash.

Click on my name and scroll down, the details are there.

No probably about it, I’m sure they would. Dunno about you, but I’m right out of ammo and anti-tank weapons so I can’t send any of that. A bit of cash is doable.

Good for them.

I assume it'll be used to fund the resistance. Even if the government in Kyiv falls, I very much doubt the rest of the country is going to just roll over and become good russian citizens.

Japanese people must not care as much as say Australia then. Australia has already commited 10xtimes as much and more will be committed soon via NATO.

IMO, anyone who cares must stop buying Chinese goods and lobby their government to isolate China as well. China has activated its currency swap facility to keep Russia running, China has also been letting Russia bypass swift by using its settlement system.

China is now as guilty as Russia in this horrific genocide.

Ukraine is demanding for help , financial support , fighters, etc.

Well, but I would like to see them reporting us the real situation of Ukraine, damages, war situation, etc. I see a lot of propaganda on both sides, specially on the social networks.

Even if only a quarter of that money arrives in Ukrainian hands it will help. Thank you, Japan.

Excellent hearing this!

How about India? They abstained in the last UN Security Council vote to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Why you may ask?

Perhaps because Russia continues to be India's largest arms supplier? Perhaps because Moscow has vetoed UNSC resolutions over disputed Kashmir in the past to help India keep it a bilateral issue?

So who is going to get that money? The Ukraine oligarchs? They do not need it. Ukraine, with its vast ressources and educated population could be one of the richest instead of the poorest in the region, if that corrupt crowd had not been keeping it down.

Maybe because there is a world outside the Western media and diplomatic bubble, where the globalist Western leaders only talk to each other? India, with a more neutral outlook, surely is more critical of US/Nato warmongering and its often disastrous results (see e.g. Bidens withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left the jihadis with a mountain of military hardware, a large part of it will undoubtedly find its way to Pakistan and Kashmir.)

Mexico did not join the US/Europe warmongering consensus either, btw.
