Special Edition: Japan and the Russia-Ukraine Crisis

(Last updated April 22, 2022)
Greetings to anyone who reads my blog!! I hope my posts are a helpful resource to stay abreast of the latest developments in Japan and an entertaining list of news that interests a wide range of readers. My aim has been to be both informative and professional in the way I compile the news every week.

This special edition is my attempt to organize all the news reports and press conferences coming out this week. I summarized the content of the sanctions, official G7 and Quad meetings, other developments (timeline), and notable statements by GOJ ministers, Japanese lawmakers and political parties.

As usual, there are bookmarks that you can use to skip over to the parts that are most relevant to you, the reader.

Hopefully, this is a good resource that helps wrap your head around all that’s been going on! Please contact me via email (rintaro.nishimura@gmail.com) or Twitter (@RinNishimura) if there is anything that seems to be missing or if you’d simply like to tell me how good a job I did 🙂
