Solidarity among Japanese people against the Russian invasion of Ukraine has generated extraordinarily large donations from the private sector in Japan to the United Nations' refugee agency this year, according to the U.N. refugee chief.
U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said at a Wednesday press conference in Tokyo that individuals and approximately 150 companies in Japan have donated a total of about 130 million dollars to the humanitarian agency's operations so far this year, adding that this almost matches the contributions made by the Japanese government.
