A fresh diplomatic storm is brewing between Moscow and Tokyo after Vladimir Putin visited Iturup, a Russian-controlled island claimed by Japan. Putin toured a fish-processing plant, hospital and school, met residents and spoke with Sakhalin’s governor. Japan responded furiously, formally protesting the visit and summoning Russia’s ambassador. Tokyo insists Iturup, known as Etorofu in Japan, is part of the Northern Territories and remains Japanese territory. The island is among four southern Kuril Islands at the heart of a decades-old territorial dispute. Moscow maintains control, while Tokyo continues to reject Russia’s sovereignty claim. Putin’s visit has now reignited tensions between the two countries. #Putin #Russia #Japan #Iturup #Etorofu #KurilIslands #NorthernTerritories #Moscow #Tokyo #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #RussiaJapan #TerritorialDispute #WorldNews #BreakingNews #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news
