TOKYO -- Japan is watching the situation around Ukraine with "grave concern" about the possibility of a Russian invasion, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.
In a phone call, Kishida urged Putin to "pursue a solution through diplomatic negotiations that all countries involved can accept," rather than "change the status quo through force," the prime minister told reporters afterward.
