On the 1st, the Kobe City Council unanimously passed a resolution protesting Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, saying, "It is an act that clearly violates the UN Charter and is absolutely unacceptable."
Kobe City has focused on Ukraine, where the IT industry is growing rapidly, and has been making efforts to secure excellent human resources, such as holding an online seminar that connects local and local companies jointly with embassies and others. Due to the current situation, the plan is temporarily suspended.
Under these circumstances, the Kobe City Council submitted a resolution protesting Russia's military invasion of Ukraine at the plenary session on the 1st, and it was unanimously passed.
The resolution states that "Russia's attack is a serious sovereignty violation against Ukraine, which clearly violates the UN Charter and is absolutely unacceptable."
We urge the Government of Japan to work closely with the countries concerned and the international community to take strict and appropriate measures.
After the plenary session, Chairman Yasunaga Bo said, "It is very disappointing for the citizens that we are promoting exchanges between Kobe City and Ukraine to secure IT human resources. The resolution was that the great powers broke the order. I have shown my intention to protest, and I would like to consider supporting Ukraine in the future. "
