“I’ve always felt that I’m someone who is more socially conscious than other people realize,” he told AFP as he prepared to leave Japan for the conflict.Motomura took a first trip to Ukraine just two months after Russia’s invasion, initially carrying supplies for refugees and the displaced. Georgian Legion commander Mamuka Mamulashvili told AFP the unit currently counts eight Japanese among troops from 33 nationalities in its ranks.
