Putin has turned his attention to defending Russia's eastern borders with the United States and Japan
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the security of Russia’s eastern borders.
The meeting was attended by Commander of the Pacific Fleet Vladimir Liina, Head of the FSB Border Guard Service for the Sakhalin Region Sergey Makhorin, and Acting Commander of the 68th Army Corps Alexey Shvedov.
Putin stated that the Russian military’s primary tasks are currently being carried out during the war against Ukraine, but Moscow must also ensure Russia’s security “on all fronts and territories.”
According to him, the situation on the eastern front is “complex.” He listened to reports from the military command and asked for proposals on additional measures to ensure the region’s security.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi called the visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin—the leader of an aggressor state—to the disputed Kuril Islands “absolutely unacceptable.” According to Russian state media, this was his first trip to the archipelago. Putin visited Iturup Island, which Japan calls Etorofu.
Russia has been systematically training future drone operators starting as early as elementary school. Another example of this policy was demonstrated to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin during his trip to the Russian-occupied Kuril Island of Iturup.
