Is the detention of Japanese journalists a reflection of tensions between Japan and Russia? There are fears that it will be prolonged - Russia

During Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a male reporter from the Hokkaido Shimbun Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk bureau was arrested on suspicion of being a spy. It is unusual for a Japanese journalist to be charged with espionage, and there are concerns that he will be detained for a long time. In the past, there have been cases in which Kyodo News reporters were temporarily detained in Vladivostok, but in this case, it has been pointed out that the Putin administration may be using the detention to keep Japan in check amid worsening Japan-Russia relations.
