Japan's Kishida meets with Ukraine's Zelensky in surprise visit

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is making a surprise visit to Ukraine, becoming the first Japanese prime minister to visit a country with ongoing fighting since World War II. The visit follows Chinese leader Xi Jinping's controversial state visit to Russia, where he praised Putin and called him a "dear friend." Japan has pledged $5.5 billion in humanitarian aid to Ukraine, quadrupling Tokyo's previous contributions, and Kishida has previously spoken out against Moscow's invasion of its neighbor. The visit comes amid growing concerns over China's global reach and Russia's increasing isolation.
