- President Putin expressed his strong stance against the West regarding the war in Ukraine, warning countries that provide weapons to Ukraine and pressuring Western countries that allow attacks on Russia's interior.
- President Putin is raising tensions in the international community by claiming that the war in Ukraine would end in 2-3 months if the West stopped supplying weapons and hinting at the possibility of using nuclear weapons.
- President Putin is expected to put further strain on Japan-Russia relations by urging Japan to reconsider its stance towards Russia and leaving open the possibility of a visit to the Northern Territories in connection with the worsening Japan-Russia relations.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who continues to invade Ukraine, said on June 5 that Russia is "considering" supplying weapons to countries and regions that are hostile to those countries that provide Ukraine with weapons that can attack Russia's internal affairs. He also warned that "important targets" of countries that provided weapons to Ukraine could be attacked with Russian weapons.
Putin made the remarks at a meeting with heads of various news agencies at an economic forum held in St. Petersburg, northwestern Russia. His statement suggesting that Western countries that allowed attacks on Russia's internal affairs could be targeted by Russian weapons is seen as an attempt to pressure the West to stop military aid to Ukraine or revoke its permission for attacks on Russia's internal affairs.
Putin also claimed that the fighting in Ukraine would cease within 2-3 months if the West stopped supplying weapons. "The West thinks Russia will never use nuclear weapons. I urge them to read Russia's nuclear doctrine," he said, emphasizing that Russia "could use all means" if its national sovereignty and territorial integrity are threatened. Meanwhile, he dismissed the West's concerns about Russia's possible attack on NATO as "absurd."
Putin claimed that the losses of the Russian army in the invasion of Ukraine were "much smaller than those of the Ukrainian army." He explained that 1,348 Russian soldiers were taken prisoner by the Ukrainian army, while 6,465 Ukrainian soldiers were taken prisoner.
Putin also mentioned the Japan-Russia relationship, which has deteriorated to its worst level ever due to the invasion of Ukraine. "Russia is not refusing to resume negotiations for a peace treaty," he said, but also claimed that Japan should reconsider its attitude toward Russia for that to happen. He also did not rule out the possibility of visiting the Northern Territories, which Russia illegally occupies.
Putin's remarks on this day are interpreted as a strong warning to the West's support for Ukraine. Russia is intensifying its confrontation with the West over the invasion of Ukraine and is raising tensions in the international community by mentioning the possibility of using nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile, Japan has been intensifying its criticism of Russia since the invasion of Ukraine, expressing concern over the escalating military tension. Putin's remarks are expected to add further burden on the Japan-Russia relationship.
