Putin Believes Nonsense The Absence Of Russian-Japanese Peace Treaty

Vladimir Putin believes that the absence of a peace treaty between Russia and Japan is nonsense at a time when both countries are interested in the normalization of relations and cooperation.

He stressed that the authorities of Russia and Japan had repeatedly agreed on joint work on the territory of the Kuril Islands, but the Japanese side repeatedly revised its stance. Russia regards it as its duty to arrange for the corresponding work and to create the necessary conditions for economic activity in accordance with security requirements.
