KYIV - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday expressed hope for cooperation with Japan on defense issues and an early meeting with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, welcoming her push to loosen the country's rules on lethal arms exports.
Noting that air defense is "crucial" for his country in repelling Russia's full-scale invasion launched in February 2022, Zelenskyy said in an exclusive interview with Kyodo News in Kyiv that it would be "very helpful" if Takaichi decides to open a "corridor for the dialogue" in this area.
