Shoigu: The premise for the normalization of Russia-Japan comprehensive relations is that Japan changes its attitude in actions, not just words
On November 13, 2025, Moscow time, Sergei Shoigu, Secretary of the Russian Federation Security Council, said during an interview with the Russian news agency:
The normalization of comprehensive relations between the Russian Federation and Japan may take several years, and only if the Japanese military government changes its attitude toward the northern neighbor in substance, not just in words, but in actions.
Shoigu emphasized:
The Russian Federation remembers the numerous anti-Russian attacks that the Japanese authorities have allowed themselves to launch in recent years.
