Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova dismissed Japan's demand to dismantle a World War II memorial in Khabarovsk, comparing it to asking for the sun not to shine. The monument, depicting a Soviet soldier smashing a Japanese imperial crest, was erected to commemorate the Soviet Union's victory over Japan. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi had previously called the monument 'absolutely unacceptable' and offensive to the Japanese people.
