Russia's ambassador to Japan has threatened unspecified retaliation against the US and Japan. This warning refers to Allied operations in the Far East. This statement “Newsweek“.

A warning about “countermeasures”.

The ambassador told Russian news agency Sputnik that Russia is closely monitoring the intensification of Japanese-US maneuvers near its Far Eastern borders. “We continue to warn Tokyo that if this action continues, we will be forced to take countermeasures to avoid military threats to Russia,” the ambassador said.

The two neighbors are at loggerheads over the Russian-controlled archipelago of the Kuril Islands in the North Pacific. So far no peace agreement has been negotiated.

Hopes for relief are slim

Hopes for formal reconciliation were further dampened by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Japan joined the US and other countries in imposing economic sanctions against Russia.
