The meeting between US and Russia top leaders is under the spotlight, with the main focus on the long-standing territorial disputes. The discussions on this sensitive matter aim to bring potential resolutions in the interest of international peace and stability. These high-level diplomatic dialogues, while complex, not only impact the two superpowers but also, consequentially, the global geopolitical landscape.

Japan has been particularly sensitive and concerned about territorial disputes given its own conflicts over its northern territories. Japanese citizens closely follow these global encounters as they may influence their own negotiations with Russia over the Northern Territories (southern Kuril Islands). The principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity deeply resonate with the Japanese population, shaping public opinion on such matters.

Territorial disputes are a common theme in international politics. In the US or EU, these issues are seen through the lens of international law, national sovereignty, and regional stability. Diplomatic negotiations, legal actions, and collective security measures through NATO in the EU context are preferred methods of resolution. The approach is somewhat similar to Japan, albeit with varying historical and geopolitical factors.
