Why It Matters
Relations between Russia and Japan have become complicated against the backdrop of Tokyo's anti-Russian line and the situation around Ukraine.
Russia will be forced to take defensive measures due to Japan's policy of remilitarization. Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko warned Tokyo about this in an interview with NEWS.ru.
“The Russian side regularly warns Tokyo through diplomatic channels and in the public sphere about the extremely negative consequences of such steps. We emphasize that this will force us to take effective compensatory measures in order to maintain the proper level of national defense capability,” the diplomat said.
He emphasized that the path to resuming dialogue and cooperation can open only after Japan’s refusal of the anti-Russian line is supported by real actions.
