Japan calls Putin's first-ever visit to disputed Kuril islands 'unacceptable'
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin's inaugural visit to the disputed Kuril islands, describing the trip as "absolutely unacceptable". She further stated, "[Putin's trip] has worsened Japanese sentiment towards Russia [and] wounds the feelings of the Japanese people." The islands, which have remained a point of dispute between the two nations, were captured by Soviet troops back in 1945.
