It seems unlikely to be an accident that they're measuring the length of Japan using an island (Etorofu/Iturup) that has been controlled by the Soviet Union and Russia since 1945 but is still claimed by Japan.
For those who find it difficult to imagine the entire length of the front line of the rus-Ukraine war, this is:
distance from Barcelona to Warsaw;
almost the entire length of the US border with Mexico;
distance from Etorofu to Nagasaki in Japan;
distance from moscow to The Hague.

(But yes, most of the commentary is on the final comparison, for good reason.)
