Japan condemns Putin's Kuril visit
Japan expressed its "strong protest" over Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Iturup Island, which is considered part of the Kuril Islands, and Tokyo refers to these islands as the "Northern Territories," which it regards as Japanese historically and legally. This was stated in a declaration by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs after Putin visited Sakhalin Region and for the first time visited the island, where he appeared in videos touring a fish processing plant in Iturup. This visit represents an escalation in the tensions between the two countries over the sovereignty of the islands, which Japan claims as its own, while Russia considers them part of its territory.
