Togo Denies Any Connection with Russia Behind Its UN Map Resolution

Togo's Foreign Minister Robert Dussey denied any connection between the UN map resolution and Russia, responding to Japanese accusations implying Togolese support for Moscow in the territorial dispute with Japan. The resolution, supported by 164 countries, promotes the Equal Earth map projection, which does not alter borders. The ongoing Russo-Japanese dispute over the Kuril Islands remains unresolved, with tensions rising after Putin's visit to the archipelago and Russian missile tests.
