Again protest. Japan does not like the teachings of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Kuriles
As previously reported, more than 2,5 thousand military personnel of the Eastern Military District take part in large-scale tactical exercises as part of a verification test at educational complexes in the Kuril Islands. About 800 pieces of equipment are involved in the exercises, including Tanks T-72B, artillery, Mi-8AMTSH, three Pacific Fleet combat ships.
Japan considers the four islands of the southern Kuriles to be its "northern territories", challenging their belonging to Russia. Moscow’s position is that the southern Kuriles became part of the USSR following the Second World War, and Russian sovereignty over them, which has the appropriate international legal framework, is beyond doubt.
