Japanese Atomic Bomb Survivors Call for Nuclear Disarmament Amid Ukraine Conflict
The Japanese atomic bomb survivors association, Nihon Hidankyo, Nobel Peace Prize laureates in 2024, urged Russia to cease its nuclear threats regarding Ukraine. Co-chair Terumi Tanaka emphasized the significance of nuclear weapons and warned against their use, stating that President Vladimir Putin may not fully grasp their implications.
