Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said Japan will examine how it can contribute to prospective security guarantees for Ukraine that the United States and European partners are discussing for the post-war period. Speaking to reporters in Tokyo on 19 August, Ishiba pledged to “fulfil an appropriate role” once the government has assessed legal constraints and defence capabilities, adding that it is too early to outline specific measures. Ishiba welcomed the latest meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, calling Washington’s engagement “highly significant.” He stressed that the priority remains achieving an immediate ceasefire and a “fair peace,” and said Japan is sharing its position in ongoing talks among a coalition that could involve about 30 countries, according to remarks cited by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
