Japan Eyes Measure Against Russia Over Putin’s Visit to Etorofu Island
Following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Etorofu Island, Japan is considering a measure against Russia in response, according to a news report by Kyodo News. The Japanese have protested against the visit and tension with Russia is heating up.
Etorofu Island is located off Hokkaido and Japan has claimed it even though Russia has control of it. Historically, Russia – then the Soviet Union – seized Etorofu after Japan surrendered way back in World War II. The Russians call the island Iturup.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News. Some parts in boldface…
Japan is considering taking some measure against Russia, following President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Etorofu Island, a senior Foreign Ministry official said Friday.
Putin made his first trip to the Russian-controlled, Japanese-claimed island chain off Hokkaido as president or prime minister Thursday, drawing a backlash from Tokyo, which called it “totally unacceptable.”
“We are considering what step to take going forward,” the official told reporters. An additional sanction is believed to be under consideration.
The islands, known in Japan as the Northern Territories and by Russia as the Southern Kurils, have long been at the center of a territorial row between the countries. The visit came as ties between Japan and Russia remain strained amid Moscow’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Japan maintains that the island chain, consisting of Etorofu, Kunashiri, Shikotan and the Habomai islet group, was illegally seized by the Soviet Union soon after Japan’s surrender in World War II. Russia argues the seizure was legitimate.
On Thursday, the Japanese government summoned Nikolay Nozdrev, Russia’s ambassador in Tokyo, and lodged a strong protest over Putin’s visit, while Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said the Northern Territories are an inherent part of Japanese territory “both historically and under international law.”
According to the Russian government, Putin visited a fish-processing plant, a hospital and a school and met with local residents.
The territorial dispute has meant the two countries have never signed a peace treaty after World War II.
Under former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Takaichi’s political mentor, Japan pursued closer ties with Russia in the hope of resolving the Northern Territories dispute. Abe met Putin 27 times during his tenure ending in 2020.
In 2018, the two agreed to accelerate peace treaty talks based on a 1956 joint declaration between Japan and the Soviet Union that called for the handover of two smaller islands — Shikotan and the Habomai islet group — after a peace treaty was signed.
The talks were suspended after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Prospects for resuming negotiations remain dim as ties have deteriorated following Japan’s participation in U.S.-led sanctions against Moscow.
Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think diplomatics between Russia and Japan will remain strained for the foreseeable future? Do you consider Russia’s seizure of Etorofu Island illegal?

Over One Thousand Filipinos Working In Greenland
As Greenland struggles to fill its labor gap, the number of Filipinos living and working there has exceeded one thousand and their community has grown significantly, according to a news report by VnExpress.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the VnExpress news report. Some parts in boldface…
Filipinos and Thais have become the two largest foreign communities in Greenland, filling a labor gap the Arctic territory cannot close from its own population of about 57,000.
Roughly 1,300 Filipinos and 460 Thais now live on the island, CNA reported. The Filipino community has grown nearly fivefold from five years ago, while the Thai population has roughly doubled.
AFP put the Filipino figure slightly lower, at about 1,200, in a May report from Ilulissat, and identified Filipinos as the largest foreign diaspora in the Danish autonomous territory.
In Nuuk, the capital, there were 770 Filipinos in 2026, compared with 118 a decade ago.
They work in supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, fisheries, cleaning companies, breweries, health facilities and small businesses.
CNA reported that 12% to 13% of the workforce now comes from outside Greenlandic backgrounds, a category that includes Danes and other Europeans. AFP, citing Greenland’s employers’ organizations, put the share of Asian workers at 5% to 6%.
Greenland is the world’s largest island at about 2.16 million square kilometers, roughly the size of Western Europe, but its ice sheet covers close to 80% of the surface and its population is smaller than that of a mid-sized town.
The island is expanding tourism, services, mining and energy. A survey by the Greenland Business Association found a shortfall of around 600 workers across all sectors, and the association says the real gap is larger.
“If we all had two or three jobs, we still wouldn’t have enough people in Greenland. So we are going to be dependent on people coming in,” Christian Keldsen, the association’s director, told CNA.
A worker from Asia in Greenland earned an average of $52,800 across all sectors in 2024, according to figures cited by CNA. That is about 9.5 times the average annual wage in Thailand and more than 12 times the average in the Philippines.
A work permit also carries publicly financed healthcare, medicine, education and retirement benefits, said Steven Arnfjord, a professor at the University of Greenland who directs its Center for Arctic Welfare.
Few migrants arrive through recruitment agencies. One relative secures a permit, establishes themselves, then brings a spouse or children through family reunification.
Kristine Juul, a researcher at Roskilde University, has described the pattern to Polar Journal as chain migration, in which relatives and friends pass job information across continents.
Annabelle Cruz, 39, is a sales leader at the Brugseni supermarket chain in Nuuk. She is one of 31 members of her extended family now living and working in the capital, a chain that began 16 years ago when her sister moved.
Cruz arrived from Pampanga two years ago and now switches between English, Danish and Greenlandic on the shop floor.
About 10.7 million Filipinos live overseas, close to a tenth of the country’s population, according to the Commission on Filipinos Overseas.
Personal remittances reached a record $39.62 billion in 2025, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas reported, while cash remittances of $35.63 billion equaled 7.3% of GDP. Thailand’s inflows run at roughly 2% of GDP, World Bank data shows.
Keldsen said the government is working with employers on faster hiring. The old assumption that outside labor signals local incompetence is a colonial hangover that could fuel a backlash if handled badly, he said.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Are you surprised to learn about the fast-growing community of Filipinos living there in Greenland? Do you know anyone who visited Greenland before?

Illegal Streaming Fronts a $7M Dropcatch Domain Operation
Sable Squirrel operates a massive criminal enterprise controlling over 10,000 domains, spending an estimated $7 million acquiring expired domains to inherit their reputation and traffic. The actor runs illegal Asian sports streaming services under brands like Xoilac, Cakhia, and 90phut, which funnel viewers to gambling platforms including VSBet and 8xbet. Analysis reveals over 31,000 malware samples connecting to Sable Squirrel infrastructure, including Quasar RAT, AsyncRAT, DCRat, and ransomware variants, with the same domains simultaneously hosting streaming content and serving as command-and-control servers. Despite Vietnamese law enforcement actions in early 2026, including arrests and asset seizures, the operation quickly recovered and expanded for the World Cup, demonstrating resilience through domain rotation and shared technical infrastructure spanning multiple Asian markets.

PATCHCORD: New malware cluster targets Afghan telecom and South Asian critical infrastructure
A previously undocumented custom backdoor called PATCHCORD has been identified targeting Afghan telecom providers and South Asian critical infrastructure organizations. The C/C++ implant is delivered through sector-specific lures including fake VPN installers impersonating Afghan Telecom and telecom management tools. Infrastructure analysis uncovered SHEETCORD, a Go-based implant using Google Sheets for command-and-control, distributed via domains impersonating India's National Informatics Centre. The operation centers on a single C2 server with multiple associated domains impersonating Afghan telecom operators. An exposed staging server revealed SuperShell C2 framework, multiple RAT frameworks, credential harvesting tools, and exploit tooling for CVE-2024-6387. The activity shows moderate confidence overlap with APT36 (Transparent Tribe) based on targeting patterns, malware similarities, shared infrastructure, and operational tradecraft, representing an evolution of the group's capabilities with stronger ...
