Russia warns Japan of 'serious consequences' if Patriot missiles made there end up in Ukraine Russia's newly appointed ambassador to Japan has warned Tokyo of serious consequences and retaliatory steps if Patriot missile systems manufactured under U.S. license in Japan end up in Ukraine, the RIA news agency reported on Friday. RIA cited the new envoy, Nikolai Nozdrev, as saying that Moscow would be watching closely to see where Japanese arms exports ended up after Tokyo softened its export rules at the end of last year. In particular, he said, Russia would be watching to see if and when any Patriot missile complexes and missiles made in Japan under U.S. license are exported to the United States and then to Ukraine. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Russia #Japan #Patriot

Territorial disputes with Japan 'over,' Russia's top diplomat says Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has declared that all territorial disputes between Moscow and other countries, including Japan, as "over." Lavrov made the remarks, which could suggest Moscow will never discuss with Tokyo the issue of sovereignty over Russian-held islands off Hokkaido, during an interview Monday with the state-controlled Channel One television network. The former Soviet Union seized four islands after Japan's surrender in World War II, and disputes over their sovereignty have prevented Tokyo and Moscow from signing a postwar peace treaty. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Russia #Territorial_Disputes #Japan
