The Japanese government has announced a $6 billion package for humanitarian and technical support to Ukraine in 2026, Verkhovna Rada reported on January 21.
This commitment was highlighted by Ukraine’s Deputy Speaker, Olena Kondratiuk, who expressed gratitude to Japan’s Ambassador to Ukraine, Masashi Nakagome, for the significant humanitarian aid provided during these challenging times.

To date, Japan has supplied over 2,500 power generators of various capacities, more than 65 transformers, 10 power generation units, and other critical equipment to support and restore Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, according to the Verkhovna Rada.
Japan previously front-loaded financial assistance to Ukraine, shifting part of its planned aid to the first half of 2026, when Kyiv is expected to face the tightest funding conditions.
Japan’s total financial and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine has exceeded $15 billion, Verkhovna Rada wrote.
Kondratiuk also emphasized Japan’s efforts in rehabilitating Ukrainian soldiers, its participation in the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, and its support for recent pro-Ukraine resolutions at the United Nations. Notably, Japan co-sponsored and supported the resolution on the “Return of Ukrainian Children.”
Earlier, Japan had delivered an undisclosed number of military-grade off-road vehicles to Ukraine, identified as Toyota High Mobility Vehicles (HMV), which are considered functional analogues to the US-made HMMWV, commonly known as the Humvee.
