Japan is ready to take in Ukrainians fleeing Russia's invasion, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Wednesday.

Kishida said he made the pledge during a phone conversation with his Polish counterpart Mateusz Morawiecki.

He said he also told German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, in another phone call, that Japan would work closely with Berlin on supporting Ukraine.
