Tokyo: The embassy of Japan in Ukraine will resume its work in Kiev on Wednesday after a seven-month pause, Japanese media reported.
Japan transferred its embassy from Kiev to the western city of Lviv following the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine in February.
Later in March, the Japanese diplomatic mission left Ukraine, while its actions were taken over by the embassy in Poland.
