Russia's presidential office said, "We are in the territory of our own nation," informing the Japanese side that Russia will conduct a geological survey in the sea area including a part of EEZ = exclusive economic zone around the northern territory of Japan. I have the sovereignty to do all the research within."
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Russia has informed the Japanese side that it will conduct a geological survey in the vast sea area of the Sea of Okhotsk for three months from this month 18th to September 18th, but in the designated waters, It included a portion of EEZ = exclusive economic zone around the Northern Territories of Japan.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested to the Russian side, saying, "It is not compatible with Japan's position regarding the Northern Territories and it cannot be accepted." In response, Russian Presidential spokesman Peskov rebelled against the media on the 26th, claiming that "Russia has absolute sovereignty over all investigations within its territory."
