The Russian side suggested establishing a memorial temple for victims of militarism in Japan.

【Russian Foreign Ministry Briefing (1): Suggest Building a Shrine for Victims of Japanese Militarism in Japan】

Moscow time, December 25, 2025, Maria Zakharova, Spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, answered questions from reporters at the briefing:

In my opinion, it would be a good idea to build a shrine for victims of Japanese militarism within Japan. Every year, and even more frequently, offerings should be made as an act of atonement, because it is difficult to imagine how many casualties were caused by Japanese militarism, and how many civilians were killed or injured, but these facts are recorded in history. What do you think about Tokyo having such an idea?
