Thoughts ahead of the end of World War II on August 15th

August 15th marks the 78th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Every year on the 15th of August, the Japanese feel a sense of apology as a party to the war that caused so much damage to Asian countries. I am tempted by complicated thoughts that are mixed with feelings of condolences for what happened.

August 15th is the most important day for the Japanese people as it renews their resolve to never allow such a tragic war to happen again.

There are many wars going on in the world today, the most prominent of which is the war in Ukraine.

President Putin has justified this war with various reasons, but there is no change in the fact that he has aggressed, and we cannot accept this war.

America and other democratic nations must openly oppose attempts to change the status quo through a war of aggression.

Russia = The former Soviet Union, before starting a war with Nazi Germany, signed a secret pact called the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, and Nazi Germany from the west and the Soviet Union from the east invaded Poland, temporarily destroying Poland. I was. History proves this. Thousands of captured Polish soldiers were massacred by the Soviet army and buried in the Katyn Forest. In addition, they have carried out many criminal acts, such as occupying Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia, and invading Finland. Even if the Soviet Union, which committed numerous crimes, went to war with Nazi Germany for supremacy, it would be impossible for the atrocities committed up to that point to be canceled out, even under international law. I think

And now, Ukraine, which has been Russian territory since the time of Imperial Russia, is invading with a unilateral interpretation that it is not a state but Russian territory.

It would be justified for Russia to shoot many missiles into Ukraine and kill many women, children and old people.

Putin's goal is to turn Ukraine into a ruin, to exterminate the Ukrainians and turn it into a Russian colony and completely Russify it.

It is the disgusting mindset and worldview of the Russian government that it cares nothing about the deaths of many Ukrainians because its purpose is to exterminate the Ukrainians and let the Russians colonize where the Ukrainians used to live.

We must never allow Russia to win this war, and we must never allow it to justify aggression against other countries.

Nazi Germany lost the war, and now Germany has become one of the democratic nations, and actively contributes to the world peace together with Japan.

The fight against Russia is a war of attrition, and I don't think it will be settled quickly, but I would like the democracies of the world to come together and aim to end the war as soon as possible through both force and negotiations with Russia. I think.

Peace to Ukraine as soon as possible! !

May the day come when children will be freed from the threat of missiles! !

Putin wants to solve the problem through peaceful means, not war! !
