Russia unveiled a statue in Khabarovsk showing a Soviet soldier destroying a stone marker with Japan's chrysanthemum crest.
Japan's PM Takaichi called it "completely unacceptable" and demanded its removal.
The unveiling was timed for Russia's renamed holiday โ "The Day of Victory over Militarist Japan."
It follows Putin's first visit last month to Russian-held islands claimed by Japan off Hokkaido.
Relations have been deteriorating since Japan imposed sanctions over the Ukraine invasion.

NEW: Saudi Aramco's Jizan refinery was hit again on Monday, the latest in a series of Houthi strikes that have kept the 400,000 barrel-per-day plant offline for weeks.
Houthis claimed dozens of ballistic missiles and drones targeted the site on September 6, calling it retaliation for Saudi drone incursions over Yemen.
The refinery hasn't fully operated since late July, when earlier strikes damaged the tank farm and power complex.
Diesel shipments from the site dropped to zero in August.
Saudi Arabia has been rerouting crude exports via the Red Sea and East-West Pipeline but losing refining capacity is harder to replace than rerouting barrels.

Israelโs Foreign Minister Gideon Saโar:
There is a great power in a people insisting that the world call their homeland by its own original name. The Jewish people understand this very well.
We are the indigenous people of this land, the land of Israel. Jews are called Jews because we are from Judea.
Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria are not modern political inventions. These are the ancient names, the biblical names of the places where our history was born.

Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez:
The entire European far-right internationalโand also those on the other side of the Atlanticโare attacking Spain. Well, there must be a reason.
After eight years of progressive government, Spain is proof that the opposite of their hatred is our progress.

Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez:
We are facing an alliance between an increasingly far-right-leaning right and an increasingly emboldened far right.
Their alliance is based on three priorities: cutting rights and freedoms, privatizing the welfare state, and fracturing social cohesion.
For years, they used the financial crisis โ now some want to use war and rearmament.
In short, the same things as always: hatred and fear.

Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez on Germany:
What we saw yesterday in Saxony is a warning and, I think, also a confirmation.
It is a warning that the far-right threat, thanks largely to the surrender of the traditional right, is gaining ground in Europe and around the world.
And it is also a confirmation that a government like the progressive coalition government we have in Spain is today more necessary than ever.

Denouncing any violation of international law or human rights should be the normal, ethical and responsible thing for all European and world leaders to do, but unfortunately it no longer is.
That is the world we have been forced to live in. And the extraordinary thing should not be that Spain maintains its principles, as we are doing.
The extraordinary thing is that so many others have decided to abandon them.
