Diplomatic Tensions Rise After Putin's Kuril Visit
Russia confirmed that it summoned the Japanese ambassador after Japan condemned President Vladimir Putin's recent visit to the Kuril Islands, which Japan claims sovereignty over. Putin’s visit to Iturup Island in the Kuril archipelago, following a trip to Sakhalin Island, provoked Japanese protests. Moscow responded by recalling Japanese Ambassador Akira Moto. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov clarified that the Japanese had crossed the line of decency in their criticism, and that Moscow is considering how to address the behavior of the Japanese leadership and the ambassador’s conduct in the host country.
