Ukraine-born woman in Japan awaits reunion with family

wow, she is lucky. My family can’t visit.

My family can’t visit.

And why is that?

COVID-19 in case you haven’t heard of it.

When is Japan going to announce that it will take in Ukrainians?

At present there is just a deafening silence(as usual)

Lucky her even more lucky family.

It seems the Ukrainians are a very special race.

Can't remember this much acceptance when it was Syria, Afghanistan or now Yemen.

To be exact even Canada that announced an open door policy towards Ukrainian refugees, just announced it doesn't apply to non-citizens of Ukraine.

Seems Ukraine's tens of thousands of refugees from places like Syria, Afghanistan etc... Have been refused entry into neighbouring countries and refused refugees status in most western countries.

Heart-rending story. I hope and pray that these family members will find safety and refuge in Japan, as well as any endangered Ukrainians that Japan and the free world can accomodate.

Fascist Russia can never be forgiven for invading these people's land, destroying their homes, killing innocent people and uprooting their lives.

There is no mention in the article that the government will even allow her relatives to enter?

No assurances yet - but previously Kishida has stated that relatives of Ukrainians and Japanese resident in Japan will go to the front of the queue in receiving refuge. Its the right thing to do.

I'd love to see a follow up on this case.

Really, she is lucky? Are you sure? Has your family lost their home to war? Is your family being shelled and shot at every day?
