We urge the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops and solution through dialogue -YWCA of
Japan statement on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine-

nuclear weapons by Vladimir Putin, President of Russia.

aggression, without being able to defy the trend of “creating peace by intimidating neighboring
countries” that dominated the Japanese society at the time.
