Mar 29 (NHK) - A private university in Tokyo has decided to accept Ukrainian students who want to evacuate to Japan.
The International Christian University says it will solicit applications with refugee support group Pathways Japan.
Eligible applicants should be students at universities in Ukraine who have remained in the country or fled to another country since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
They also need to have studied the Japanese language.
Information will be available on the group's website in Japanese and English. The university plans to accept several students at first.
University officials say they will provide successful applicants with travel expenses to Japan, accommodations on campus and living expenses.
