In a historic break from its pacifist post-WWII stance, Japan has agreed to provide real-time geospatial intelligence to Ukraine — a move that marks Tokyo’s entry into the heart of the Russia-Ukraine war.
The data will come from Japanese firm iQPS’s satellite network and will directly aid Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence in tracking Russian troop movements.
This unprecedented step comes as the U.S. pauses its intelligence support, leaving a critical gap in Ukraine’s defense network.
Japan’s strategic leap is not just about Ukraine — it’s a message to Russia, China, and North Korea.
But with domestic legal hurdles and diplomatic risks ahead, can Tokyo navigate the fallout?
