Russia's Strategic Bombers Fly Near Japan and Ukraine Amid Political Visits.

Two Russian strategic bombers flew over the Sea of Japan for more than seven hours as Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was beginning a visit to Ukraine. The timing of the flight appeared more pointed than usual, as Kishida was due in Kyiv later on a visit to show solidarity with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the war against Russia. Russia said the flight was carried out in strict compliance with international law and was made over neutral waters.
