The media called the condition of Japan to sign a peace treaty with Russia

This is reported by Kyodo, referring to government sources.

As noted, the Abe administration believes that the transfer of Iturup and Kunashir is unrealistic.

Earlier, Abe noted the expansion of cooperation between Russia and Japan, announcing plans to achieve completion of negotiations on a peace treaty.

On January 22, Abe will hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

As expected, the parties will discuss issues related to the conclusion of a peace treaty.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the key condition for solving the problem of a peace treaty is recognition of the outcome of World War II by Tokyo.
