Summoned to the Japanese Foreign Ministry after Russian President Vladimir Putin's trip to the Kuril Islands, the Russian ambassador, according to TASS, gave the necessary explanations. The diplomat explained in the department that the movements of the head of our state on its territory are a sovereign decision that does not need to be discussed with foreign states.
Earlier, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi also reacted to Putin's visit. According to the Nikkei publication, official Tokyo continues to consider the South Kuril islands of Kunashir, Shikotan, Iturup and Habomai as belonging to the "northern and ancestral territories of Japan." Plus, the Russian president's trip allegedly touched the feelings of many Japanese.
Takaichi, proving her point of view, explained the claims with a "historical point of view and international law." Therefore, Japan has declared a "strong protest" against Putin's trip, which allegedly exacerbates the territorial dispute between the two states.
