Putin’s surprise trip to Russia’s Kuril Islands stirs fresh diplomatic fire with Japan, reigniting a decades-old territorial dispute that blocks a peace treaty since WWII. Visiting a fish plant, hospital, and school on Iturup, Putin signals Moscow’s firm grip — prompting Japan to formally protest and summon Russia’s ambassador. Moscow dismisses the outcry as baseless, insisting the islands are rightfully Russian territory acquired post-WWII. Japan’s PM calls the visit unacceptable, warning it deepens mistrust, while a former Russian president warns dissenters will face consequences — all as Putin hints that Japan’s Ukraine stance is complicating peace talks.
