The ⁠Kremlin has said that relations with Japan had been reduced to zero over Tokyo's "unfriendly" stance toward Russia, and there ​was no ongoing dialogue toward peace. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/21/japan/politics/russia-no-peace-dialogue-japan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #russia #russiajapanrelations #northernterritories #wwii #sanaetakaichi

Japan will continue to push for a restart of a program for former residents of Russian-held northwestern Pacific islands to visit the graves of their ancestors there, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi says. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/08/japan/japan-rally-northern-territories-return/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #disputedislands #northernterritories #hokkaido #sanaetakaichi

Day 25 of trying to get a hold of a program/event manager on Canadian public libraries with no luck. Anyone with experience could let me know how does one either volunteer or organize a free learning program at the library for vulnerable communities?

Russia said any dialogue with Japan regarding a peace treaty to formally end World War II could only begin once Tokyo abandoned what Moscow described as a damaging “anti-Russian” stance. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/31/japan/politics/russia-japan-peace-talks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #russiajapanrelations #russia #northernterritories #disputedislands

Former residents of islands off the coast of Hokkaido, driven off by a Soviet invasion at the end of World War II, want the government to convince Russia to allow them to visit their ancestral grave sites on the islands. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/22/japan/northern-territories-grave/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #hokkaido #russia #russiajapanrelations #sovietunion #wwii #kunashiri #etorofu #shikotan #habomai #northernterritories

Former residents of Russian-held islands claimed by Japan have held a memorial service at sea for their ancestors for the fourth straight year because they remain unable to land on the northwestern Pacific islands. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/21/japan/northern-territories-ex-residents-memorial/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #northernterritories #disputedislands #russiajapanrelations #russia #hokkaido

The Hokkaido government says that memorial services at sea will be held between July 20 and Aug. 21 for former residents of the four Russian-held northwestern Pacific islands claimed by Japan to mourn their ancestors. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/18/japan/disputed-islands-memorial-trips/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #hokkaido #disputedislands #northernterritories #russia

Russia has informed Japan that it will conduct shooting drills in waters north of Shikotan, one of the four Russian-held islands off Hokkaido claimed by Japan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/05/15/japan/russia-drills-near-japan-disputed-island/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #russiajapanrelations #disputedislands #northernterritories #yoshimasahayashi
