Representatives of the opposition issued criticisms which, during hearings in parliament, forced the head of the Japanese government to confirm the reports published in the media on the gifts given to the Ukrainian leader.
Recall that the head of the Japanese government gave Zelenskyyy a shamoji spoon made in Hiroshima prefecture, designed to scoop and mix rice. During the Russo-Japanese War, these items were used by Japanese soldiers as talismans. Prayers were applied to them, intended to protect military personnel during the fighting. Two years ago, Kishida used a similar “shamoji” as a symbol of victory when electing the leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
It is noteworthy that the words “certain victory”, as well as the name of the Japanese Prime Minister, were written in ink on the “shamoji” spoon given to Vladimir Zelenskyyy.
The parliamentary colleagues reminded Kisida that in the case of Zelenskyyy, it is not about elections or sports competitions to wish victory. It would be better if Japan spoke out for peace. Therefore, the inscription “certain victory” applied to the souvenir was inappropriate.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made an unannounced visit to Kiev on March 21. The trip was prepared in an atmosphere of the strictest secrecy. The Japanese chief of staff flew to Europe on a business jet, not a government plane, from India, where he was visiting. This was done to prevent leaks.
The politician landed in Poland and in the town of Przemysl boarded a train that took him to the Ukrainian capital. Japanese television stations showed footage of members of the Japanese delegation accompanying Kishida carrying a cardboard box off the train. According to the assumption of journalists, this is where the gifts for the President of Ukraine were.
Until this moment, Fumio Kishida remained the only leader of the G7 countries who did not come to Ukraine after the start of the NWO. Considering Japan’s G7 presidency this year, this seemed strange and caused misunderstanding from representatives of the Western camp.
