According to CoinMeta, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova stated on the 20th during a regular press conference that Japan launched aggressive wars during World War II and has refused to acknowledge the outcomes of the war for decades. Russia calls on Japan to fully recognize the outcomes of World War II and to cease beautifying its history of aggression. In response to questions from Xinhua News Agency reporters, Zakharova said that on the 81st anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender, Japanese officials have not publicly acknowledged their acts of aggression in the Asia-Pacific region, have not sincerely apologized to the victims of neighboring countries, and have not complied with the peace provisions of their own constitution. Instead, they continue to pursue a path of "re-militarization," gradually sliding towards a dangerous abyss. Zakharova pointed out that Japan's attempts to "whitewash" its wartime crimes, to push for amendments to the peace constitution, and to re-discuss the "three non-nuclear principles" are all carried out against the backdrop of distorting historical facts. She also mentioned that Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga's speech at the "National Memorial Ceremony for the War Dead," the offering of sacrifices at the Yasukuni Shrine, and the visits to the shrine by several political figures, including the Defense Minister, are all manifestations of this "re-militarization" policy.
