Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi condemned Vladimir Putin's visit to the Kuril Islands, calling it unacceptable. The islands are claimed by both Japan and Russia, leading to ongoing territorial disputes. Japan's Foreign Minister reiterated that the islands are inherently Japanese territory, protesting the visit.
