Japan's PM Kishida meets with Ukraine's President Zelensky in surprise visit.

Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made an unexpected visit to Kyiv to offer "solidarity and unwavering support" to Ukraine. During his visit, Kishida visited Bucha, a town near Kyiv where local authorities say hundreds of bodies of civilians were found. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held a second day of talks on Tuesday, with Putin welcoming China's proposals on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The US Pentagon is speeding up the process of supplying Ukraine with battle tanks that were pledged earlier this year, by relying on an older model that should be available in Ukraine by fall.
