Fwd from @ 📝Japanese stand up for a spy📝 Tokyo reacted to the detention of a journalist in Russia The Japanese government's attacks on Russia have continued for months now, and yesterday's arrest of a Japanese national gave them another opportunity. Today, Japan's Foreign Ministry summoned Russian Ambassador Nikolai Nozdryov. The ministry expressed a protest over the fact that the Russian side distributed information about the case without providing explanations to the Japanese government. Tokyo is for now emphasizing the protection of its citizen rather than publicly refuting the accusations. Moreover, Japanese diplomats, not missing the opportunity, also voiced their displeasure to the Russian representative regarding the visit of Iturup Island by a Chinese business delegation. Japan views any foreign presence on the Southern Kurils as a violation of its sovereignty. 📌Overall, there is nothing surprising about such a reaction — of course, Tokyo could have done without summoning the Russian ambassador, gathering the necessary information behind the scenes and expressing a protest in another way. However, against the backdrop of the current deterioration in Japanese-Russian relations, Japanese leadership is resorting to increasingly harsh rhetoric. ❗️As for the fact that the Russian side does not transmit information through diplomatic channels, which Tokyo accuses Moscow authorities of, this can be explained both by the sensitivity of the case and by failures in bilateral relations, for which Japan bears responsibility. #Russia #Japan 🏮@rybar_pacific — your ticket to Pacific chaos 💸Support us Original msg
