The signing took place online between JICA President Akihiko Tanaka and ICRC President Miliana Spoliarich.

Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, JICA, together with the international community, has been providing various assistance to Ukraine and the countries surrounding Ukraine. The ICRC has deployed its personnel on the ground in conflict-affected and other countries, and has been carrying out assistance, protection, and prevention activities to protect people’s dignity and livelihoods, using its network of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in each country.
