On August 13, 2026, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a provocative visit to Iturup, an island at the center of a long-standing territorial dispute between Russia and Japan.
2026年8月13日，俄羅斯總統普丁對擇捉島進行了一次挑釁性的訪問，該島位於俄日兩國長期領土爭端的中心。
Known as the Northern Territories in Japan and the Southern Kurils in Russia, these islands have prevented both nations from signing a formal World War II peace treaty for decades.
這些島嶼在日本被稱為「北方四島」，在俄羅斯則被稱為「南千島群島」，數十年來，這些島嶼一直阻礙兩國簽署第二次世界大戰的正式和平條約。
During his trip, Putin toured local infrastructure, including a school and a fish-processing plant.
訪問期間，普丁視察了當地的基礎設施，包括一所學校和一家魚類加工廠。
The Japanese government reacted sharply to the visit, with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi describing it as 'absolutely unacceptable' and an affront to the Japanese people.
日本政府對此次訪問作出了強烈反應，首相高市早苗稱其「絕對不可接受」，是對日本人民的侮辱。
Tokyo officially summoned the Russian ambassador to express its strong protest, maintaining that the islands are an inherent part of Japanese territory.
東京正式召見了俄羅斯大使以表達強烈抗議，堅稱這些島嶼是日本固有領土。
This diplomatic friction occurs against a backdrop of already strained relations, as Japan has strongly supported Ukraine and participated in G7 sanctions against Russia.
這種外交摩擦是在兩國關係本已緊張的背景下發生的，因為日本一直堅決支持烏克蘭，並參與了七大工業國集團(G7)對俄羅斯的制裁。
