Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to virtually deliver his address to the Japanese parliament on Wednesday to rally international support for his country's fight against Russian invasion.
Japan, unlike in the past, has been acting tough against Russia, in line with other Group of Seven countries, though Tokyo's steps have triggered Moscow's retaliation. A compromise could set a bad precedence in East Asia, where China is increasingly making assertive military actions.
Zelenskyy's speech, expected to be about 10 minutes, will be shown in a meeting room at the lower house — the more powerful of Japan's two-chamber parliament which Prime Minister Fumio Kishida belongs to. Zelenskyy has made virtual addresses to the U.S. Congress, as well as parliaments in Europe, Canada and Israel.

..."Amid the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to address the Japanese Parliament on Wednesday, March 23. By addressing Japan, Zelenskyy will seek international support for his country’s fight against the Russian invasion. According to a report by the Associated Press, it is expected that the Ukrainian President would address the Japanese Parliament for about 10 minutes.
As per the news agency, the video will be played in a meeting room at the lower house of the Japanese Parliament. Notably, after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced an invasion against its neighbouring country, Ukraine, Japan has been acting tough against Moscow. Though the action from Tokyo triggered Moscow to react against it, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida invoked sanctions without fearing repercussions."...
