Putin provoacă Japonia: Rusia a desfășurat un exercițiu militar rar în apropierea insulelor disputate, după vizita controversată în Kurile

Russia conducted a rare military exercise near the disputed Kuril Islands, escalating tensions with Japan, which condemned the military buildup. The exercise involved missile launches from various platforms, including a nuclear submarine. Japan's Foreign Minister labeled Russia's actions as unacceptable, emphasizing the ongoing territorial dispute that has hindered a peace treaty. Putin's recent visit to Iturup further strained relations, as Japan protested the move. The situation is complicated by Japan's support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia, with little hope for resolution in the current climate.
