Putin a vizitat insulele Kurile, revendicate de Japonia

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Iturup Island, part of the disputed Kuril Islands, highlighting ongoing territorial tensions with Japan. This area has been a point of conflict for decades, hindering peace treaty negotiations between the two nations since World War II. Japan claims four southern islands, while Russia has administered them since the end of the war. Iturup is the largest of these islands, located in the southern Kurils.
