Russia Calls in Japan's Ambassador Over Kuril Visit

Russia announced the recall of the Japanese ambassador to Moscow in response to Tokyo's condemnation of President Vladimir Putin's recent visit to the Kuril Islands, which Japan claims sovereignty over and refers to as the "Northern Territories." The disputed islands, located in the far east of Russia, have been a source of ongoing tension between the two countries since the Soviet Union took control of them in 1945. Following Putin's visit to Iturup Island in the Kuril archipelago, Tokyo summoned the Russian ambassador to protest, and Moscow responded in kind by recalling the Japanese ambassador. The Russian Foreign Minister stated that the Japanese had crossed the line in their criticisms, while a Russian official noted that the situation was becoming more complicated due to the ambiguity in Tokyo's response to the ambassador's recall.
