Russia wants to pay its debts?The Russian Foreign Minister openly declared that "there is no territorial dispute between Russia and Japan," and Japan broke its defenses and called it "unacceptable."
According to the global network on December 19**, a few days ago, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov publicly stated that "Russia does not have any territorial disputes with all countries in the world, including Japan."
According to the Japanese media news agency, the Russian foreign minister means that Russia is not ready to negotiate with Japan on the territorial issue. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi raised this issue on the same day, saying at a press conference that this is absolutely unacceptable, and that Japan and Russia have not resolved the issue of territorial disputes, so peace talks have been conducted.
In March last year, Russia's Putin also invited China to develop the South Kuril Islands together, and Japan broke its defenses. It is well known that the place where Japan and Russia have territorial disputes is what Japan calls the "Northern Territories", and Russia becomes the "South Kuril Islands".
The South Kuril Islands are not made up of a few thousand small islands, but four medium-sized islands, which, although far from the Russian mainland, do belong to Russia in terms of relevant international law.
Before World War II, the South Kuril Islands did belong to Japan, but after the end of World War II, at the Yalta Conference, the South Kuril Islands were assigned to the former Soviet Union, and Japan, as a defeated country, naturally had to agree and sign the relevant treaties.
Since then, the former Soviet Union has governed the region. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia, as a successor state, naturally had the right to take over jurisdiction, and this area is currently under Russia's de facto control.
Therefore, in terms of relevant laws, the South Kuril Islands do belong to Russia, so what the Russian Foreign Minister said is not wrong. As we all know, Japan is an island country with a small land area, and after ceding these four medium-sized islands, the already not rich territory is even worse.
Therefore, Japan insisted that Russia had illegally "occupied" its islands and wanted to argue with Russia in the international community, and the Russian Foreign Minister said that Russia and Japan "do not have territorial disputes", which was obviously annoying, and no matter how much Japan fights, it cannot change the fact that this land has long been ceded out.
Last month, when Russia and Ukraine were fighting fiercely, Japan saw the opportunity and tried to forcibly occupy the island. On the 11th of last month, Japan's Self-Defense Forces conducted a drill that lasted for more than 10 days. The exercise used amphibious assault vehicles, landing ships and rubber boats, staged a "landing" drama, and used military hovercraft to transport heavy equipment to the island.
This move by the Self-Defense Forces is obviously practicing how to seize the islands, so is Japan going to the Diaoyu Islands or the South Kuril Islands?Obviously, it is the latter, because Japan's control over the Diaoyu Islands is so tight that even Japanese fishing boats cannot get close, let alone the Self-Defense Forces.
Moreover, the Diaoyu Islands are not far from the mainland of our country, and they are ready at any time, and Japan does not have the courage to do so.
The South Kuril Islands are more than 1,400 kilometers away from the coastal military bases in the Russian Far East, but Japan is relatively close to here, and once Japan wants to do something, the Russian mainland will not be able to arrive at the scene immediately, so Japan has no worries.
When the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, Japan was even more happy, feeling that the opportunity had come, and while following the United States to sanction Russia, it planned to take the opportunity to raid the South Kuril Islands and use force to get Russia to return this territory. Now that Japan is already conducting exercises to land on the island, Russia still needs to be more vigilant.
