Kuril Islands Row: Putin's Visit to the Islands Crossed the Red Line! Japan Strikes Back!

Japan has reiterated its territorial claims against Russia and is considering potential responses to Vladimir Putin’s visit to the disputed island of Iturup.

Japanese authorities have now indicated that they are weighing further measures, which, according to media reports, could include additional sanctions against Moscow. Ukraine has also expressed its support for Japan, with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasizing the importance of sovereignty and international law. Will this escalation of the dispute lead to new restrictions against Russia? How do the positions of Kyiv and Tokyo align in countering Russian policy regarding occupied territories?
