"Japan has officially agreed to cooperate with USA to support Ukraine with weapons", - Yomiuri

I thought you said the Russians already lost. Why do the Ukrainians need more support?

Tokyo (Jiji Press)—The Japanese government is poised to proceed with “indirect military aid” to Ukraine by providing surface-to-air missiles to the United States, whose stockpiles have been reduced due to its support for Ukraine under Russian aggression.

It is indirect military aid and Japan will send PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles to the US, which enables America to boost its missile production and send American missiles to Ukraine.

Japan’s provision of missiles to the United States is seen as a stopgap measure until the United States increases its missile production. In addition to PAC-2 missiles against fighter jets and cruise missiles, Japan also plans to provide PAC-3 missiles designed to intercept ballistic missiles.

The missile provision of the bilateral agreement made sure that Japanese missiles will not be sent to Ukraine, which is a former communist country that is sanctioned by Japan's defense law.

The missile provision, however, has raised strong concerns that Japanese-made equipment may be used in Ukraine. To prevent this, Tokyo and Washington have confirmed in documents that the missiles would not be transferred to third countries. “We have to be more careful than ever,” said a senior Japanese Defense Ministry official.

Basically, Japan still does not trust former communist countries such as Ukraine and Estonia. The Cold War is still being fought in the Far East against China and North Korea.
