Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson calls Japan’s supply of interceptor drones to Ukraine a “clear hostile act” and says Russia will “take tough measures”

Russia’s Foreign Ministry announced that it regarded the supply of small interceptor drones by a Japanese company to the Ukrainian government as a “clear hostile act.” It warned of future measures, citing the potential negative impact on Japan-Russia relations.

The drones were reportedly supplied through a subsidiary of Terra Drone Corporation, a major Japanese drone developer. The report contains no additional information on the specific delivery dates or quantities.

The Russian side rejected Japan’s claim that the initiative was “a purely private-sector-led effort” and stressed that it would not overlook such attacks.

In response, Russia indicated that it plans to take tough measures against Japan and is reportedly considering its response in light of the impact on Japan-Russia relations.
