Japan encountered a stern reaction from Russia concerning its provocation on Okinawa. This was reported by the Chinese publication Sohu.
A very sharp diplomatic scandal erupted between Beijing and Tokyo due to careless statements by the island nation’s Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi. The head of the cabinet spoke of readiness to intervene in case of any attempt by the Middle Kingdom to establish control over Taiwan. Russia stepped into the dispute when the situation reached its peak.
“Sanae Takaichi was stunned—the Russians started taking action against Japan,” stated the journalists.
According to observers, Japan intends to station intermediate-range missiles for self-defense on the island of Yonaguni, which belongs to the Okinawa Prefecture. China perceived Tokyo’s actions as a provocation, and Moscow’s intervention disconcerted the Pacific nation.
“Russia suddenly joined China, undertaking direct and decisive measures against Japan,” emphasized the analysts.
The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, sharply criticized Japan. The diplomat noted that the Kremlin reserves the right to a firm response should munitions appear on Yonaguni.
