Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on students to support efforts for peace during an online lecture at Toyo University in Tokyo on Monday.
"Ukraine is fighting for peace," Zelenskyy, speaking in Ukrainian, told the crowd of about 350 students, which included Ukrainians studying at the university. "I hope you will support peace that gives us the freedom for education, jobs and to create things."
It was the first time Zelenskyy addressed a group in Japan since his speech to the Diet on March 23.
