Kyiv Mayor Calls For Unity For Peace In Online Talk With Kyoto Mayor
The mayor of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv has called for the unity of peoples and nations to achieve peace. He made the appeal in an online conference with the mayor of Japanese sister city, Kyoto.
Vitali Klitschko and Kadokawa Daisaku had discussions on Wednesday afternoon, Japan time.
Klitschko explained that Russian attacks have destroyed many residential buildings around Kyiv and killed citizens, calling the situation a genocide.
Kadokawa said that having been informed of the situation directly, he feels it is unforgivable.
He said that as a sister city, he hopes to appeal to the whole of Japan to provide whatever support is needed.
Asked by Kadokawa what kind of support is needed now, Klitschko replied food and medicine as he does not know how long the situation will last. He also called for support in rebuilding destroyed areas.
Klitschko said, "We all together have to make a pressure to Russia to stop the war. Unity around Ukraine is a key for peace."
