Zakharova answered the call of the Japanese political scientist to “return” the Kuril Islands

“Such statements do not contribute to resolving existing issues,” Zakharova said in an interview with the Moscow Says radio station.

Kashiyama, in an article on Wedge Infinity, expressed dissatisfaction with Japan’s policy on the Kuril issue. 

In his opinion, the very idea of ​​“returning” the two islands is “harmful and fruitless” - the authorities should insist on the “return” of all four.

In the comments to the material, many users questioned the feasibility of this appeal.

The Russian authorities have repeatedly said that the sovereignty of Russia over the Kuril Islands is undeniable.
