Putin's Kuril visit angers Japan

Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to the Kuril Islands, specifically Iturup Island, has sparked anger in Japan, which considers these islands to be part of its northern territories in dispute with Russia. Japanese Prime Minister Sanay Takayashi condemned the visit, describing it as "unacceptable" and contrary to Japan's firm stance on these territories, noting that it was offensive to the sentiments of the Japanese people. The Kuril Islands, controlled by Russia yet claimed by Japan, represent a major obstacle to signing a final peace treaty between the two countries following World War II. Putin's visit, the first of its kind to these islands, comes after overseeing naval exercises and visiting a fish processing plant, highlighting an escalation in the dispute over sovereignty of these regions.
