United States is the only country in the world that used nuclear weapons in Japan without any military expediency. Putin recalled the US nuclear strike against Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The Americans had no reasons for a nuclear strike on the country.
“There was no military expediency in this case. Was there a threat to the territorial sovereignty of the United States? No. There was no military expediency either,” he added.

The head of state noted that in Japanese textbooks they now write that it was the allies who launched a nuclear strike.

“They keep Japan in such a way that even in textbooks they cannot write the truth. Although this tragedy is remembered every year,” Putin added.
