According to the report, Russia is currently maintaining active military forces around the northern islands near Japan.
"In response to these developments, the Japanese Ministry of Defense warned in July that the increasing strategic cooperation between Beijing and Moscow, including more intensive military exercises, poses a strong concern for national security," reported Radio Free Europe on August 1, 2025.
Sure enough, the report became a reality as Russia and China deployed combat forces in the Pacific Ocean.
The two countries agreed to conduct military exercises involving various battle simulations.
"The five-day exercise, which began on August 1, is dubbed Maritime Interaction 2025 and will see naval forces from both countries train in anti-submarine warfare, air defense, search and rescue operations, and joint weapons exercises,” said a statement from the Russian Pacific Fleet based in Vladivostok.

Meanwhile, in response to Japan's statement, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang explained that the exercises are not targeting other countries.
"The military exercises from August 1-5 are not aimed at other countries or related to the current international or regional situation, but Japan continues to warn that such cooperation could lead to increased tensions in the future,” he said.
