Putin sfidează Japonia: frontul revizionist ajunge în Pacific

Vladimir Putin's visit to the Kuril Islands signals a strong message to Japan and the West, emphasizing Russia's territorial claims and revanchism. The visit, framed as a demonstration of sovereignty, highlights the ongoing territorial dispute stemming from World War II. Japan's government condemned the visit, asserting the islands are part of its territory, while Russia maintains its sovereignty as a result of the war. The geopolitical context is further complicated by military cooperation between Russia, China, and North Korea, posing a multifaceted threat to Japan. This situation underscores the enduring tensions and unresolved issues from the past, with no peace treaty signed between Russia and Japan after over 80 years.
