Putin noted that his country had never refused to hold a dialogue with Japan on the peace treaty and said: "Russia and Japan are interested in the full normalization of relations, and we have always talked about the need to respect the results of the Second World War stipulated in international documents, and we agreed with the former prime minister that we are ready to cooperate on the basis of The 1950s documents are well known, but the Japanese partners have always changed their minds.”
For many years, relations between Russia and Japan have been dominated by the absence of a peace treaty between them, as Japan considers the South Kuril islands, which are the islands of Kunashir, Shikotan Iturup and Habomai as belonging to it, and insists on their return under Japanese sovereignty, but Moscow's position confirms that these islands became part of the territory of the Soviet Union in the wake of the war The Second World and Russia's supremacy over it is not in doubt.
