Russia held military parades on three islands illegally occupied from Japan after the Second World War. The Soviet Union seized the islands after the Japanese surrender, but maintained it was fair spoils of war. Russia has continued to claim the same. Japan claims the islands, but Russia keeps troops there.
One of the positive outcomes of the Russian war against Ukraine may be that more people become aware of Russian occupations of territory in other parts of the world. More nations should condemn all of Russia’s occupations. I do, but my voice does not amount to much in the big world.
