Russia's Putin is scheduled to meet with U.S. Biden at the "barn meeting" on June 16, 2021, and it is hoped that this meeting will ease tensions between Russia and the West.
However, Japan, the U.S. ally in Asia, is at odds with Russia.
And the Russian side is testing a nuclear bomb in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago and putting pressure on Japan. All of this comes from?
On May 26, 2010, in the northeastern waters off the coast of Okhotos, Hokkaido, a terrible shipwreck accident caused ** people. A strip called"Amur"of the Russian cargo ship the same Japanese hairy crab fishing boat"8th bokoku"Wheel collisions.
Amur"The No. 600 is more than 600 tons and can carry 23 people, compared to the "8th northbound" with only 9 tons and a crew of only 5 people. At the time of the incident, a Russian cargo ship rammed a Japanese ship, which immediately capsized and all 5 Japanese fell into the sea.
Unfortunately, three people have died and two have been seriously injured. Now, the exact cause of the accident is unknown.
Since then, Russia has not been responsible for the safety of Russian ships and has not publicly reacted to this.
Because the car accident was right in front of their house, the Japanese people were very angry, believing that their ship was trapped in the sea and hit by a Russian freighter, and that Russia should bear all the consequences of this matter and must deal with it seriously.
Civic organizations have already begun to accuse Russia of "playing a water game" and suspect that they are causing trouble. Japan has detained a Russian sailor to put pressure on Putin.
The Russian freighter will reportedly be required to pay a large amount of compensation, and the Russian sailor will also be tried under Japanese law and may be sentenced to five years in prison or a fine of up to 1 million yen (about $10,000).
Now, the deputy captain has been handed over to the prosecutor's office in Asahikawa City, Japan, and at the same time, the Japanese ** also uses the seized "Amur" as a guarantee to compensate the Japanese ** who were hit.
The Russian consul general in Sapporo, Malinde, who is facing Japanese detention, said there was no direct evidence that Russia was responsible for the incident, and that the captain and sailors of the ship were under intense pressure to admit their crimes.
But just three days after the incident, Russia began**. Russia's Sakhalin Oblast Border Service seized a Japanese-flagged schooner crab fishing vessel in the Sea of Okhotsk on suspicion of illegal fishing.
The place where it was captured is located off the coast of Wakkanai City, Japan, near the territorial sea line of the two countries. The Japanese ship "No. 72 Eiho Maru" was forced to board by a Russian patrol while carrying out fishing activities.
Russian border patrol vessels warned us during the capture. Now, the Japanese ship, along with 14 Japanese sailors, is detained in the port of Kosafk in Sakhalin, awaiting further inspection.
With Japan and Russia holding each other's ** separately and as "hostages", the two countries are once again locked in a war of words. Japan** has made it clear that its vessels are sailing normally within its territorial waters and that it is unreasonable and unfair for Russia to confiscate the vessels.
Japan also said that Russia had previously detained its crew and ship in connection with the collision, but this time it was violently enforcing the law for no reason.
At a press conference, Japanese Foreign Minister Katsunobu Kato harshly criticized Russia's approach, calling it "unreasonable" and "unauthorized entry into Japanese waters."
At the same time, he expressed his dissatisfaction with several Russian **.
The Russian Foreign Minister said that Russia's law enforcement agencies saw Japanese ships in its exclusive economic zone, and Japanese ships tried to flee. Russia is carrying out a legitimate measure.
Now, as the dispute between the two countries heats up, it seems that the contradictions between Japan and Russia will further intensify. Even if the Japanese side files a claim or lawsuit, it will be nothing more than a dream.
Considering the relations between Russia and Japan in the past, the best outcome would be the exchange of seized ships, and Japan would have to pay a higher fee.
Putin said Russia was open to peaceful talks, but he also insisted that the revised Constitution, the most important of which was the prohibition of land abandonment, could not be violated. It can be seen from this that the territorial dispute between China and the United States has become an important topic of discussion between Russia and Japan.
Medvedev's visit to Kunashir Island has made relations between the two countries even more strained, which highlights the issue of sovereignty between the two countries.
Relations between China and Japan have gradually warmed up since they came to power, and exchanges and cooperation between the two countries have also been continuously strengthened. In order to resolve the dispute over the four northern islands, there were several talks with Putin in an attempt to strengthen the economy by signing a peace agreement, and in exchange, Russia made some compromises on the islands.
However, the collision may have been caused by the United States. Recently, Japan has risked a territorial dispute with Russia due to the support of the United States, which has led to many frictions with Western countries in recent times.
Previously, the situation in Ukraine was very serious, and Japan also said that if Russia was in a weak state, it could use military means to recover the relevant areas, and also invited the Minister of Defense of Ukraine to visit Tokyo, which aroused Moscow's disgust.
Russia's series of moves are aimed at warning Japan to halt its excessive expansionist ambitions, while also showing the United States and the West its strong will. First of all, the Russian Ministry of Defense, after Russia's reaction to Japan's complaint, suddenly announced that Putin would conduct a "non-nuclear test" on Novaya Zemlya to confirm the reliability of its nuclear arsenal.
Secondly, the Russian Pacific Navy conducted large-scale military exercises in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, dispatching a large number of troops and cutting-edge forces, which is undoubtedly a warning to Japan and a strong threat to the United States and Western countries.
Russia detained the Japanese ship in response to its arbitrary behavior. This is "to treat others the way they do", and to treat others the way they do.
Japan may not have expected such a harsh attitude from Russia and has made itself clear by possessing nuclear weapons. Today, Japan faces a dilemma. On the one hand, the real control of the four northern islands is in the hands of Russia, and if their actions continue, there will be a blatant conflict with Moscow, which is not a good thing for Japan.
But if they choose to endure humiliation, they will lose popular support, which is extremely detrimental to the current administration.
Both groups scrambled for each other's boats and people, and neither was willing to back down. Japan should realize that blindly following the United States to provoke other countries can only end its own life in its own way.
Similarly, Russia, while not ethical, is under pressure from the world.
