Moscow, November 20 (Xinhua) — Japan not only refuses to acknowledge today's mistakes, but even the results of World War II, 80 years after its end. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova during a briefing on Thursday in response to a Xinhua reporter's request to comment on the Japanese Prime Minister's recent outrageous statements regarding Taiwan and Tokyo's refusal to acknowledge this mistake.

"You mentioned that Japan hasn't yet acknowledged its mistake. I apologize, but Japan hasn't yet recognized the results of World War II! Eighty years have passed, and Japan still refuses to recognize the results of World War II, as enshrined in international law," M. Zakharova pointed out.

The Russian diplomat noted that November 20 marked the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials, the international military tribunal for the major Nazi war criminals. "International law was built on the results of the Nuremberg Tribunal in many aspects, and many concepts were formulated for the first time," she recalled, adding that Japan does not recognize either the results of Nuremberg or the Tokyo Trials, the international military tribunal for the Far East.

Speaking about Russia's position on the Taiwan issue, M. Zakharova emphasized that this principled position is well known. It is immutable and has been repeatedly reaffirmed at the highest level. "The Russian side recognizes that Taiwan is an integral part of China and opposes any form of independence for the island. We proceed from the premise that the Taiwan issue is an internal matter for China, which has every legitimate basis for defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated.

M. Zakharova also noted that the Taiwan issue has been quite actively discussed in the international information space recently. "You see how a number of countries loudly declare their commitment to the one-China principle while cynically continuing to escalate tensions in the Taiwan Strait, impeding the peaceful unification of the country (I mean China), supplying arms to the island, actively strengthening military-political contacts, promoting the growth of separatist sentiment, and using Chinese Taiwan as an instrument of pressure and geopolitical containment against the People's Republic of China," the diplomat noted.

"Russia strongly condemns the West's hypocritical position on China's Taiwan issue and, as a true friend and reliable partner of Beijing in the international arena, is prepared to continue to provide strong mutual support on issues related to sovereignty and territorial integrity, including Taiwan," the Russian Foreign Ministry's official spokesperson concluded.

Moscow, November 20 (Xinhua) — The Nuremberg Tribunal marked the beginning of a series of trials of Nazi war criminals, including Japanese militarists. Alexei Pushkov, Chairman of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy and Interaction with the Media, stated this in an interview with Xinhua on the sidelines of the International Scientific and Practical Forum "No Statute of Limitations. Nuremberg. 80 Years," dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the start of the International Military Tribunal for Major Nazi War Criminals. The forum opened in Moscow on Thursday.

"The Nuremberg Tribunal marked the beginning of a series of trials of Nazi criminals, including Japanese war criminals. Japanese militarism was condemned on par with German Nazism. At the Tokyo Trials, it was condemned as a crime against humanity," the Russian senator pointed out, emphasizing that Nuremberg established a moral taboo against supporting Nazism, neo-Nazism, ultra-nationalism, and militarism.

According to A. Pushkov, the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials is not only symbolic and historical, but also an extremely important political date, as the historical legacy of Nuremberg remains relevant today. "The current world order established after World War II, including as a result of the Nuremberg Trials, the Tokyo Tribunal, the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences, and so on, is based on the key role of the five victorious powers—the Soviet Union, China, the United States, Great Britain, and France," the Xinhua source noted.

The senator condemned attempts by some Western media and politicians to distort history and emphasized that Russia played a decisive role in the defeat of Nazi Germany, while China, which suffered enormous losses during the war in the Far East and Southeast Asia, played a huge role in the victory over Japan. "I must say that very little is said about this in the modern Western media. But we in Russia remember this," he added.

A. Pushkov believes that BRICS needs to develop a common platform for coordinating approaches to the study of history in order to counter Western media distortions of historical memory. "We must create a common program in the BRICS countries, within which we would agree on scholarly contacts, contacts between journalists and students, for the purpose of studying and teaching new generations the most important aspects of history," he urged, noting that Russia and China could play a role in initiating such a program.

Moscow, November 20 (Xinhua) — The international scientific and practical forum "No Statute of Limitations. Nuremberg. 80 Years," dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the opening of the International Military Tribunal for the Major Nazi Criminals, opened in Moscow on Thursday. It brought together representatives of government agencies, youth and volunteer organizations, academic and expert circles, and archival and museum staff.

In his greeting to forum participants, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that the crimes committed by the Nazis have no statute of limitations. "Such crimes have no statute of limitations, and they were unequivocally assessed 80 years ago, by the Nuremberg Tribunal. Its norms and principles remain relevant today: they help us firmly resist attempts to distort historical facts and serve the search for worthy responses to today's global challenges and threats," the president's message, published on the Kremlin website, reads.

In his video greeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that historians play a special role in preserving historical memory and providing reliable, undistorted information about the tragic events of the past. "We hope that further study of archival documents and materials will allow us to introduce new evidence of the bloody crimes and atrocities committed by the Nazis and their collaborators into scientific dissemination," he stated, adding that Russia will continue to seek international condemnation of the crimes committed by the Nazi invaders and their accomplices against Soviet citizens during the Great Patriotic War.

In turn, Sergei Naryshkin, Chairman of the Russian Historical Society and Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, emphasized that Russia condemns any attempts to whitewash the Nazis and firmly maintains the inviolability of the results of the Nuremberg Tribunal. According to him, the true significance of the Nuremberg Trials can only be appreciated by fully understanding the scale of the crimes committed by the Nazis. "Thanks to this unique trial, Nazi ideology became a symbol of absolute evil. The International Military Tribunal fulfilled a truly historic mission—it completed the military defeat of Nazism with a significant ideological and moral victory," Naryshkin noted, emphasizing that the Nuremberg Tribunal dealt a crushing blow to the foundations of Nazi ideology and also provided a convincing response to the unprecedented challenge posed by the Nazis to all civilized humanity and all universally recognized norms of morality and law.

The Nuremberg Trials took place from November 20, 1945, to October 1, 1946. There were 403 open court hearings. A total of 360 witnesses were examined, and approximately 200,000 written statements were reviewed. A total of 24 Nazi German government and military leaders were brought to trial.

Beijing, November 20 (Xinhua) — Since September 15, when China introduced a visa-free regime for holders of ordinary Russian passports, passenger traffic from Russia through the Dongning port in Heilongjiang Province (northeast China) has exceeded 10,000 over the past two months, representing a 71.3 percent year-on-year increase, according to the news portal chinanews.com.cn, citing data from the Dongning city government.

As a reminder, China introduced a trial visa-free regime for Russian citizens holding regular passports from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026. Russian citizens holding valid passports can visit China visa-free for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, exchanging visits, and transit. Their visa-free stay in China cannot exceed 30 days.

The Dongning Port is located in an important area of the Northeast Asian Economic and Trade Corridor and is an important channel for expanding Heilongjiang Province's ties with the outside world.

Since the introduction of visa-free travel for Russian citizens, Dongning authorities have taken advantage of the Belt and Road Initiative's (BRI) northern corridor to boost tourism and consumption, thereby facilitating the city's development and opening up to the outside world.

In October, Dongning hosted the 3rd eSports Carnival featuring representatives from China, Russia, and the Republic of Korea, as well as the 7th China-Russia Open Youth and Teen Basketball Tournament. Over 200 Russian representatives participated in these events, which also attracted over 2,000 Russian tourists.

At the same time, the Dongning Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has offered discounted medical examination and service packages to Russian tourists, which has also increased the city's attractiveness for tourists from Russia. -0-

Ankara, November 20 (Xinhua) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy here on Wednesday, emphasized the need to advance diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“It would be useful for the Istanbul process to resume in a comprehensive format capable of addressing the issues that are currently pressing,” R.T. Erdogan said at a joint press conference, calling for renewed international support for the initiative.

He reiterated that Turkey is ready to discuss with Russia “any proposals that could accelerate the ceasefire and pave the way for a just and lasting peace,” and called on all partners seeking to stop the bloodshed to take a constructive approach to resuming this process.

Russia and Ukraine held a third round of peace talks in Istanbul on July 23, 2025, agreeing to a prisoner exchange but making no progress in ending the conflict.

For his part, V. Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine hopes to resume prisoner exchanges by the end of the year. "Turkey is providing strong support on this issue," he said, adding that Kyiv believes in "the strength of Turkish diplomacy and its ability to be understood in Moscow."

He thanked R.T. Erdoğan for Ankara's position throughout the conflict. "Turkey's principled position on the war with Russia is very important for Ukraine," Zelenskyy said, expressing gratitude for "cooperation that helps protect lives and Turkey's clear approach to all key aspects" of the ongoing conflict.
