Japan headed for “erosion” of its nuclear status, the Russian side will take adequate response measures to potential threats. This was stated in an interview with TASS Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko.
According to the diplomat, Japanese plans to “erode” the national nuclear status – “whether on the ways of connecting to the so -called joint nuclear missions of the United States, conduct multilateral exercises with the use of allied strategic aviation certified for the implementation of nuclear tasks, or Discussions of prospects for placing medium -range American missiles on the Japanese islands.
In Tokyo, they should be aware that any potential threats to the Far Eastern borders of the Russian Federation will meet adequate response measures to strengthen the defense capability of the Russian territory, the deputy minister emphasized.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Polish Department of Russia noted that the course of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kisida in the country’s remilitarization threatens with serious consequences for security in the Asia-Pacific region and “conflicts with the provisions of the UN Charter, in particular, Article 107”.
– Return to the dialogue is possible only after Japan’s abandonment of the anti-Russian course
Japan should abandon the anti -Russian course, without this, the return to the normal dialogue between Moscow and Tokyo in the current conditions is excluded, Rudenko said.
“without the refusal of the administration of Fumio Kisides from the unfriendly policy, reinforced by real cases, the return to the normal interstate dialogue with Tokyo is impossible,” said the diplomat.
The deputy minister noted that Russia will be guided by “exclusively national interests” in relations with Japan, which made a “short -sighted choice in favor of the line around the Russian Federation on the situation around Ukraine.”
Moscow calls on Tokyo also begin to be guided by national interests, summed up Rudenko.
