Peskov: a de facto military alliance between Japan and the United States already exists. According to him, the Russian side is aware of the US military potential, which is located on Japanese territory “near our borders.” At the same time, Peskov emphasized that this has always been a stumbling block in attempts to resolve the peace treaty problem.
As Sergei Zhyostky, acting director of the third Asian department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said, the foundation of relations between Russia and Japan is almost completely destroyed.
