Cresc tensiunile între Japonia și Rusia. Moscova cere extrădarea a nouă oficiali ai Curții Penale Internaționale

Japan has protested against Russia's extradition requests for ICC President Tomoko Akane and eight other officials, deeming them unjust and unacceptable. The requests follow Russia's arrest warrants in response to the ICC's warrant for President Putin related to the Ukraine war. Japan's Deputy Cabinet Secretary condemned the actions and stated that Tokyo will respond appropriately, including further diplomatic protests. Relations between Japan and Russia have worsened, particularly after Putin's visit to a disputed Pacific archipelago. Japan continues to support the ICC despite close ties with the U.S., which has sanctioned several ICC officials.
