Japan Tightens Visa Rules for Russians as Zelensky Warns on North Korea

Japan has tightened its visa requirements for Russian citizens, according to multiple reports. Separately, Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Russia's reliance on North Korea puts Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines at risk. He also said Russia plans a mass mobilization after rigged elections. A Chinese expert said a US Pentagon official's speech in Manila exposed alliance fragility, with the Philippines likely to bear the costs of provocations.
