Putin's negotiations to demarcate borders will not hinder negotiations February 27 5:21
Russia's President Putin has agreed to include a clause in the new constitution prohibiting the ceding of territories, but has emphasized a policy that will not hinder negotiations on demarcating borders, and has indicated that he will take care of neighboring countries, including Japan. It seems to have been.
On October 26, Putin met in Moscow with experts discussing the contents of the proposed constitutional amendment.
In this context, Kosachev, who is in charge of international affairs in the Senate, proposed that the new constitution include provisions prohibiting the ceding of territories and calling for ceding.
In response, Putin renewed his support, saying, "We have fully supported such a proposal."
Putin said, "The problem is that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will look for ways in the future that will not hinder the work of demarcating borders," he emphasized.
Although no specific country names were given, it is likely that they showed a stance of giving consideration to neighboring countries, including Japan, whose borders with Russia have not been finalized.
The meeting also indicated that a referendum on whether or not to amend the constitution would be held on April 22, and Russia is expected to amend the constitution in the spring of this year.
