> Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Moscow had observed repeated historical distortions in Japanese films and would respond if Tokyo continued. She cited films about the Southern Kuril Islands, the Russo-Japanese War and Soviet intelligence operatives, and raised concerns about Japan’s remilitarization and military exercises near Russia’s borders.
