Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio says his government will secure seats on direct flights between Japan and Poland for Ukrainian evacuees.
Kishida said on Thursday that he was shocked by intolerable acts by Russian troops in Ukraine, noting that bodies of civilians were found on roads near the capital Kyiv with their hands tied behind their back. He stressed that killing civilians is a war crime.
Kishida also said that Japan has requested the International Criminal Court for an investigation into the war crimes.
He said Russia should be held accountable. He added that Japan will take tough measures to show that it will never tolerate such acts of aggression or war crimes.
Kishida plans to announce additional measures against Russia on Friday at the earliest.
On the issue of accepting evacuees from Ukraine, Kishida said that a government airplane brought 20 evacuees who had difficulties in arranging travel to Japan on their own.
He said that the government will continue to help Ukrainian evacuees to come to Japan smoothly by securing seats on direct flights from Poland every week, starting this week.

Japan's Defense Minister Kishi Nobuo says Russia's aggression in Ukraine is "totally unacceptable" and has shaken the foundation of the international order.
Kishi made the comment during a meeting with Philippine National Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana in Tokyo on Thursday.
Kishi said Russia's aggression is an indisputable attempt to unilaterally change the status quo by force.
He said the killing of innocent civilians is a serious violation of international humanitarian law and must never be condoned.
Kishi and Lorenzana also confirmed the importance of maintaining and bolstering a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
They agreed their countries would not tolerate unilateral changes to the status quo in the region, particularly in East and Southeast Asia.
China has been increasing its maritime activities in these areas. Beijing and Manila have territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
Kishi and Lorenzana also agreed that Japan and the Philippines would continue to promote joint exercises and cooperation on defense equipment and technology.
The two countries signed a contract in 2020 for Japan to transfer domestically produced air surveillance radar systems to the Philippines, the first agreement for the export of completed defense equipment manufactured in Japan.

Taiwan's authorities have conducted drills to enhance their preparedness for a possible attack by the Chinese military against a nuclear power plant in Taiwan.
About 500 people, including police, firefighters, power utility workers and private volunteers, took part in the exercise held in the southern Taiwanese county of Pingtung on Thursday.
The drills were based on the scenario that military facilities and civilian buildings in the county are hit by missiles of the Chinese military.
Participants tried to extinguish fire and transport the injured amid the sound of sirens.
Pingtung County hosts one of two operating nuclear power plants in Taiwan.
The exercises included a response to a possible missile attack on the plant with workers checking procedures to see if the attack caused radioactive substances to leak from the facility.
After Russian forces attacked nuclear power facilities in Ukraine, Taiwan's defense ministry instructed local authorities to include a response to possible military attacks in their disaster drills this year.
Other cities and counties are also preparing to hold drills that can help improve their capabilities to respond to a contingency.
