Japan just needs to restate their claims and do some flybys and naval patrols to alarm the Russian enough to return their military gear there and back away from Ukraine.

Or just say fuck it and retake them easily.

China has also recently claimed on a map some territory previously agreed on by treaty.

Putin could end up losing massive amounts of territory in the unguarded East.
