Long before Russia invaded Ukraine, the Northern Territories of Japan were illegally occupied by the same Russian soldiers. Russian soldiers broke into homes and demanded expensive items... The former islanders, who were children at the time, vividly remember their daily lives being repainted in Russian. Despite the obvious illegal occupation, why has the Northern Territories issue not been resolved? The reporting team visited Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the capital of Sakhalin Oblast. They discovered the Northern Territories as seen by Russia in every corner of the city. While acknowledging that the "results of the war" cannot be reversed, Russian people strongly desire economic exchange. "If the Northern Territories were returned to Japan..." What is the thought of a female university student from Shikotan Island? *This is a re-edited version of the VTR that aired on "Wake Up!
