The Russian government commented on Tuesday (8) that Russia sees no reason to discuss the possibility of signing a peace treaty with Japan to formally end World War II.
According to Kremlin, there is no reason to sign the treaty, which has long been awaited due to the hostile position of Tokyo in relation to Moscow.
Russia, the successor state of the Soviet Union, and Japan never signed a peace treaty formally ending hostilities during World War II.
Soviet troops took control of the four islands of Hokkaido, Japan – known in Russia as Kurils and Japan as northern territories – at the end of the war and remained in Moscow’s hands ever since.
The dispute prevented the two countries from signing a peace treaty.
