Details	Based on my professional experience as a correspondent of Kyodo News in Moskow at the time of the former's independence, I lectured on the issue of Russian President Putin's aggression against Ukraine with the title of Hiroshima Shudo University professor. I particularly stressed the aggression being the worst violation of international law. I also pointed out that there was no contradiction between liberal democracy and the effort to protect it from outer aggression with military resistance.
