Putin Tours Kuril Islands for First Time
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Kuril Islands for the first time in a move that sparked strong protests from Japan, which claims sovereignty over these territories. The visit caused tension in the relations between the two countries, as Japan considers these islands an integral part of its land both historically and legally, referring to them as the "Northern Territories." Japan summoned the Russian ambassador to deliver a strong protest, emphasizing that the visit contradicts its firm stance and negatively impacts bilateral relations, especially amid current tensions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In response, the Russian ambassador confirmed that the islands are an inseparable part of Russia and that the visit is not subject to discussion with other countries.
