History

Until January 19, 1993, the Embassy of Japan in Ukraine was a part-time Embassy of Japan in Moscow, Russia. On 14 February 2022, the embassy in Kyiv was temporarily closed with embassy operations relocated to a liaison office in Lviv. This followed a call by the embassy on 11 February for Japanese nationals in Ukraine to leave the country as fears mounted ahead of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The embassy in Kyiv reopened in October 2022.
