PERTH, 23 October 2022, (TON): Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida warned that Russia using nuclear weapons would be seen as an act of hostility against humanity, describing President Vladimir Putin’s saber rattling as “deeply disturbing.”
Kishida, who leads the only country ever hit with a nuclear bomb said “Russia’s act of threatening the use of nuclear weapons is a serious threat to the peace and security of the international community and absolutely unacceptable."
In May next year, Kishida is expected to host leaders from the G7 countries in Hiroshima, where a US nuclear bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945, resulting in the deaths of 140,000 people.
The Japanese city of Nagasaki was hit three days later.
