#HUMAN JAPANESE FOR VITA FULL#

Japan last year accepted just 202 refugees, and is almost certain to pass a bill in the coming weeks that would effectively make it easier to deport asylum seekers who apply for the status multiple times. Ukrainians have entered Japan under a framework set up specifically for them and are referred to as evacuees rather than refugees. The generosity towards Ukrainian evacuees, however, will highlight the stark contrast against Japan's track record with asylum seekers, experts and advocates say, with hopes for broader refugee policy reform still distant. Last week, Japan pledged $1 billion in Ukrainian aid, including for its neighbours to take in refugees, and on the eve of the summit said it would accept wounded Ukrainian soldiers at a military hospital in Tokyo, an unprecedented step.

When Prime Minister Fumio Kishida hosts the Group of Seven summit in Hiroshima starting Friday, Japan's backing of Ukraine will be on full display as he leads the discussion to confirm a united front against Russia. Japan's embrace of evacuees like Bibko has been unusual for a country notorious for its aversion towards foreign entanglements and immigrants, but the war in Ukraine has sparked a rare outpouring of public support. TOKYO, May 19 (Reuters) - More than a year after escaping her native Kyiv with a broken leg one winter night, Lidiya Bibko lives in a tidy two-bedroom Tokyo flat as one of 2,300 Ukrainians who fled to Japan after the Russian invasion.
