Zakharova called Japan's actions contrary to its constitution.

On December 4, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized Tokyo's bellicose statements and actions against Taiwan, stressing that they are provocative, destabilizing the situation in the region and contrary to Japan's constitutional principles.

"We have repeatedly called on official Tokyo to stop following the path of remilitarization and return to the position of true pacifism enshrined in the national constitution of Japan," she said during a briefing.
