Is the West surrounding Russia from all sides? Turkey and Japan

I see that all of a sudden Turkey is stopping Russian flights to Syria. Turkey is a NATO member.

But I also see that the Japanese seem to be raising the issue of the Kurile Islands with Russia in the last month.

I’m not sure if the Japanese are acting out of their own accord on this, or whether this is at US prompting.

So I’m not sure if the US is busy with other moves to try to bring Russia down.
