Putin called China a true friend during his visit to Japan. What message did he send to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe?

Putin said that China is a true friend of Russia, because China did not participate in the EU sanctions against Russia, while Japan followed the United States.

The South Kuril Islands were established according to the decision of the Allies in the Second World War. The Soviet Union declared war on Japan, sent troops to destroy the Japanese Kwantung Army, and then attacked Japan. Stalin agreed, in exchange for the Soviet invasion of Japan.

To this end, the Soviet Union sent 2 million troops to wipe out the Kwantung Army and then attacked the four northern islands of Japan. The Soviet Union captured two islands and Japan surrendered. The Soviet Union was unwilling to capture the other two islands in three days and was used by Japan to return them first.

The southward migration group is the United Nations and its allies, and it is completely legal for the Soviet Union to possess it under authorization. Putin made it clear that the defeated country is not qualified to bargain on territorial issues.
