The 57-year-old father of a volunteer soldier from Fukuoka Prefecture who died in Ukraine 3??years ago says he still can’t accept his son’s death.

Seeing the calamities of war spreading in areas other than Ukraine, such as the Gaza Strip and Iran, he said, “Why can’t they make peace?”

When his son died, he thought no other parent should ever experience grieving over their child killed in war, and he says such a feeling is growing stronger day by day.
