森元首相「ロシア敗北考えられず」　ウクライナ支援を疑問視

　森喜朗元首相は２５日、ロシアによるウクライナ侵攻について「ロシアが負けることはまず考えられない。そういう事態になればもっと大変なことが起きる」との認識を示した。日ロ関係に関しては「せっかく積み立ててここまで来ているのに、こんなにウクライナに力を入れていいのか」と述べ、岸田政権の対ロ外交とウクライナ支援の在り方に疑問を呈した。
　東京都内で開かれた日印協会の会合で語った。森氏は首相在任中から北方領土問題に取り組み、ロシアのプーチン大統領との良好な関係で知られる。ただ、国際社会が対ロ制裁やウクライナ支援で連携する中、今回の発言は物議を醸しそうだ。（2023/01/25-19:59）

Japan's Ex-PM Mori Says Russia's Defeat "Unthinkable"

Russia's defeat in the war in Ukraine is "unthinkable," former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori said Wednesday.
   "Such a situation could lead to something much worse," Mori said at a meeting of the Japan-India Association in Tokyo.
   Mori expressed his doubt about incumbent Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's stance against Russia and support for Ukraine.
   "We have made efforts (for the Japan-Russia relationship) thus far, so I wonder if it's right to place such emphasis on Ukraine," Mori argued.
   Mori is known for his friendly relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has been tackling the two countries' row over four Russian-held islands that Japan calls its Northern Territories.
