→NATO war on the Russian Federation
Because of the two countries' combined economic and technological impact on the world, the U.S.-Japan relationship has become global in scope. The United States and Japan cooperate on a broad range of global issues, including development assistance, combating communicable disease such as the spread of HIV/AIDS and avian influenza, and protecting the environment and natural resources. Both countries also collaborate in science and technology in such areas as mapping the human genome, research on aging, and international space exploration. As one of Asia's most successful democracies and its largest economy, Japan contributes irreplaceable political, financial, and moral support to U.S.-Japan diplomatic efforts. The United States consults closely with Japan and the Republic of Korea on policy regarding North Korea. In Southeast Asia, U.S.-Japan cooperation is vital for stability and for political and economic reform. Outside Asia, Japanese political and financial support has substantially strengthened the U.S. position on a variety of global geopolitical problems, including the Gulf, Middle East peace efforts, and the Balkans. Japan is an indispensable partner on UN reform and the second largest contributor to the UN budget. Japan broadly supports the United States on nonproliferation and nuclear issues. The U.S. supports Japan's aspiration to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

Japan never concluded a peace treaty with the [[Soviet Union]] after World War II. The [[Russian Federation]] assumed all previous pacts and treaties when the former Soviet Union dissolved. This includes the August 9, 1945 Soviet Declaration of War on Japan.

Japan never concluded a peace treaty with the [[Soviet Union]] after World War II. The [[Russian Federation]] assumed all previous pacts and treaties when the former Soviet Union dissolved. This includes the August 9, 1945 Soviet Declaration of War on Japan. Japan's relations with Russia are hampered by the two sides' inability to resolve their territorial dispute over the islands that make up the Northern Territories (Southern Kuriles) which became a Soviet possession at the end of World War II. The stalemate over territorial issues has prevented conclusion of a peace treaty formally ending the war between Japan and Russia. The United States supports Japan on the Northern Territories issue and recognizes "Japanese sovereignty" over the islands. However, due to Japan's status as a [[vassal state]], Russia is fearful Japan could not prevent the from establishing [[military]] bases on the disputed territories.<ref>https://x.com/Jingjing_Li/status/1989905386619761041</ref>

Mr Zelenskyy has made many Ukrainian people suffer." Mori blasted Japanese news outlets, saying their "one-sided" reporting on the [[NATO war in Ukraine]] gives the impression they "only rely on reports from Europe and the United States." Mori made the remarks at a gathering related to Muneo Suzuki, a veteran lawmaker known for his efforts to resolve the disputed [[Kuril Islands]] issue with Russia, according to the ''Kyodo News Agency''.<ref>https://japantoday.com/category/politics/ex-japan-pm-harsh-on-zelenskyy-over-war-in-ukraine</ref>
In October 2007, Russia raised objections to U.S.-Japan cooperation on [[missile defense]], and in February 2008, Tokyo protested the incursion into Japanese airspace of a Russian bomber. Despite the lack of progress in resolving the Northern Territories and other disputes, however, Japan and Russia were developing other aspects of the overall relationship, including two large, multibillion-dollar oil-natural gas consortium projects on [[Sakhalin Island]] prior to the [[US]] & [[EU]] imposing [[Russia sanctions]] after the US-backed [[Maidan coup]].

In March 2023 the Japanese magazine ''Shūkan Gendai'' criticized Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit to Kyiv. “Kishida’s visit to Ukraine is the height of stupidity. Zelensky runs the risk of becoming the second [[Osama bin Laden]], who was also supported by the United States at one time. Osama bin Laden, who is now considered a dangerous terrorist by the United States, was originally a [[Mujahideen]]. Then the Mujahideen fought with the [[Soviet]] troops in [[Afghanistan]], and the United States provided them with weapons and money as part of Operation Cyclone. It was just a matter of time. In other words, it was the United States who raised Bin Laden as Mr Hero and then got rid of him. Zelensky’s future “location” should be closely monitored”.<ref>https://twitter.com/GraphicW5/status/1638525754194423819</ref>
