Russia’s President Putin jets to Iturup, one of the disputed Kuril Islands Japan claims as its Northern Territories, sparking outrage in Tokyo. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi calls the visit “unacceptable,” reiterating Japan’s historic and legal claim — a stance that’s only deepened amid Japan’s alignment with Western sanctions and Ukraine support. Russia fires back, summoning Japan’s ambassador and asserting its post-WWII sovereignty backed by UN Charter, warning that any challenge will face consequences. With decades of peace talks stalled and Russian military presence growing, Putin admits past cooperation was fruitful but says Japan’s current posture has made reconciliation harder — leaving this territorial dispute as the biggest roadblock between Moscow and Tokyo.
