Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has thanked Japan’s visiting prime minister for promising $1.5 billion in credit guarantees to aid the country’s efforts at reform and redevelopment.
Shinzo Abe was visiting Ukraine on Saturday before heading to the G-7 summit in Germany. He also announced the donation 1,500 hybrid automobiles to Ukraine’s police.
“I feel that that Ukrainian government is fully determined and prepared to steadfastly move on the path of reform,” the Japanese leader said.
Poroshenko said the credit guarantees will be used for a variety of reform and development projects.
He also said Japan has agreed to a soft loan of $1.1 billion for rehabilitation of Kiev’s sewage treatment plant.
“Japan … will do everything possible for a peaceful settlement to the problems facing Ukraine,” Abe said, highlighting that Japan will be chairing the G7 next year.
During a joint news conference with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Abe said Japan‘s position was centred on its respect for Ukraine‘s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Sunday’s G7 will be the second summit of industrial nations to exclude Russia, frozen out of the Group of Eightafter annexing Crimea from Ukraine last year.
The visits came as the Ukrainian military reported one serviceman killed and 10 others wounded in attacks by pro-Russian separatists in the past 24 hours.
It said rebels had fired heavy weapons repeatedly at government troop positions overnight, with areas north-west of separatist-controlled Donetsk among the worst hit. Separatists say Ukrainian forces bombarded Donetsk overnight with artillery.
Kiev and its NATO allies accuse Russia of sending weapons and troops to fight on behalf of rebels who control part of two provinces in eastern Ukraine. Moscow denies its troops are participating.
Canada‘s Harper said economic sanctions must remain in place against Russia and promised Canadian military trainers would be sent to Ukraine to instruct Ukrainian troops.
“Our position remains very clear – we do not accept the illegal invasion and annexation of Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine,” he said, speaking alongside Poroshenko in a subsequent news conference.
A senior monitor for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) said on Friday that the security situation in eastern Ukraine had deteriorated in recent days and accused both sides of putting civilians at risk by positioning military forces alongside civilian areas.
On Wednesday, a 12-hour firefight involving artillery on both sides raised concerns the already shaky ceasefire could crumble.
