According to media reports such as TASS, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova said on the 15th in a press conference that Japan should stop following the West's anti-Russian approach and suggest that the Japanese side pay attention to its own problems.

Asked about allegations of "Russian interference in Japan's internal affairs", Zakharova said that Japan should stop following the West's anti-Russian approach and focus on its own problems, and regrettably, the Japanese leadership elite should have cared for the interests of the people, but the practical approach is aimed at diverting the attention of the Japanese public to serious domestic problems.

Zakharova added that Japan "had better pay attention to its own problems".
