Russian Ambassador Warns Japan Abandoning Non-Nuclear Principles Would Trigger Regional Countermeasures
俄驻日大使：日本推翻“无核三原则”将招致邻国反制
Russia's ambassador to Japan, Nikolai Nozdrev, stated that if Japan overturns its 'Three Non-Nuclear Principles,' it would violate its international obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty and severely destabilize Asia-Pacific security, inevitably prompting countermeasures from neighboring countries. The remarks, reported by Xinhua via Russian state media, come amid signals from Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's administration and Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi that Japan should discuss nuclear policy without taboos.
