Japan's sudden announcement that the Russian army illegally occupied the Kuril Islands, is this one of the results that Russia will face after its defeat? Japan has already made a bet, Ukraine has also issued a statement, and the Swiss peace summit is discussed, what could be the outcome?
The post-Cold War period is over, the world is at a turning point, and every country is choosing. Every country will choose to pay the price: the fortunes of the next 30 to 50 years!
One of the South Kuril Islands
One. Japan declared: illegal occupation by the Russian army
The Japanese Foreign Ministry said that the South Kuril Islands, an integral part of Japanese territory, are now "illegally occupied" by Russia, Sputnik reported. Japan will adhere to the strategy of "concluding a peace treaty with Russia after the territorial issue is resolved."
Two. Japan's bet, the statement of the Ukrainian side
1. Japan has bet
Russia and Ukraine continue to fight fiercely, NATO troops are pressing, and Finland and Sweden join NATO. Just when Russia is concentrating its forces on the fierce battle of the Ukrainian army in Europe against NATO. Japan struck, Japan's target was the South Kuril Islands, it would have done it? No! Japan is betting!
Russia-Ukraine war
Japan provided $5 billion in aid to Ukraine in the first year of the conflict; On April 9, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visited the United States and delivered a speech, reminding the United States that the post-Cold War era is over, urging the United States to support Ukraine, and pointing out that American leadership is indispensable.
Fumio Kishida said: "Without the support of the United States, how long will Ukraine's hopes collapse under the onslaught of Moscow......"
Fumio Kishida
Fumio Kishida's speech was the same as that of Europe, pressuring the United States to take responsibility, and then we can observe: on April 21, the US House of Representatives passed the Ukraine aid bill.
Japan has already bet, it's obvious! It supports Ukraine and, in turn, waits for something in return.
2. Statement of the Ukrainian side
On October 7, 2022, the Ukrainian parliament decided to recognize the South Kuril Islands, which are disputed by Japan and Russia, as Japanese territory.
Zelensky
According to Turkey's Anadolu news agency, the Ukrainian parliament decided to recognize the South Kuril Islands as Japanese territory after a debate on the 7th. A statement issued by the Ukrainian parliament also called on the international community to take "all possible measures" to legitimize the sovereign status of the South Kuril Islands.
In this way, the two sides hit it off.
Three. The fate of Russia's defeat
On June 15 and 16, Switzerland invited more than 160 countries around the world to participate in the "Ukraine Peace Summit", which aims to "find a roadmap and a plan for peace between the two sides"!

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pointed out on April 11 that the door to negotiations is not open to Russia, and only the plan agreed by all countries will be handed over to Russia after discussion at the summit, so that Russia can understand what it should do.
Zelensky also said: Russia should behave like a defeated country.
Russia, for its part, refused to participate in the summit, calling it just an ultimatum under Zelensky's infamous set of plans. Russia will never accept it.
So, what are the prospects after the defeat of Russia in terms of territory-based? In October 2022, Ukraine was described as follows: the North will be returned to Finland, Kaliningrad will be returned to Germany, the Dry Islands archipelago will be returned to Japan, the Far East will be returned to China, and the Central Region will become a Central Asian republic, while Russia will retain only the European part.
This is only the part of the territory of Russia, as for the trial of war criminals, war reparations, that is another matter.
Four. Conclusion
According to the Russian satellite network, Russian Ambassador to Japan Nikolai Nozdelev said: Japan's rhetoric is completely out of touch with the actual situation.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered to strengthen the construction of coastal radio-technical stations in the Far East. In particular, to set up more observation posts in the South Kuril Islands in the area of responsibility of the Pacific Fleet?
Why is Russia setting up more observation posts? Because Russia understands: the Russian-Ukrainian war is a battle of life and death!
