Russia planned to attack Japan in 2021: leaked FSB letters
In August 2021, Russia was "quite seriously preparing for a localized military conflict with Japan," an FSB agent wrote in an email shared with Newsweek.

Military Conflict
In August 2021, Russia was "quite seriously preparing for a localized military conflict with Japan," the agent said in an email to Osechkin in March.
The FSB agent suggested that Russia instead chose to invade Ukraine months later.
"Confidence that the countries would enter the stage of acute confrontation and even war was high. Why Ukraine was chosen for war in the end [the scenario was not changed much] is for others to answer," they wrote.
The whistleblower detailed movements of electronic warfare helicopters targeting Japan, while Russia's propaganda machine was also initiated, with a huge push to label Japanese as "Nazis" and "fascists."
