Russian President Vladimir Putin has visited the disputed Kuril Islands, prompting a strong protest from Japan. Tokyo claims the four islands, known in Japan as the Northern Territories, are part of its territory under history and international law. The islands have remained under Russian control since the Soviet Union seized them in 1945. In this Firstpost Live episode, we analyse how Putin’s visit comes as Russia-Japan relations have deteriorated over Moscow’s war in Ukraine and Tokyo’s sanctions. With Russia, China and North Korea deepening military cooperation, Japan faces growing security pressure around its borders. The Kurils remain a major flashpoint in East Asia. Gursshheen Gahllen tells you more.
