Russia’s International Ministry mentioned on Wednesday that Moscow had summoned the Japanese ambassador in protest over an funding made by a Japanese startup in Ukrainian interceptor drone expertise.
The Japanese firm, Terra Drone, mentioned in March it had invested an undisclosed sum in Ukrainian interceptor-drone producer Superb Drones, which produces expertise designed for fast deployment on the battlefield.
The Kremlin has described Russia’s relations with Japan as having been “lowered to zero” over what it casts as Tokyo’s “unfriendly stance” in the direction of Moscow.
Relations between Moscow and Tokyo, who haven’t signed a proper World Battle Two peace treaty, have been strained for many years over an unresolved territorial dispute over the Kuril Islands, recognized in Japan as the Northern Territories.
