Russia's parliament “Territorial custody is extremism” Approval of law amendment punishable July 23, 5:15

Russia's constitutional amendment banned the ceding of territories this month has further strengthened its stance on the Northern Territories issue, and the Russian parliament considers ceding territories as extremism and punishes them. We have passed an amendment to the applicable law.

In Russia's amended constitution on 4th of this month, ceding territory is prohibited, and in response, the House of Representatives considers violations of territorial integrity, including ceding territory, as extremism and punishable. We have passed an amendment to the law.

On the other hand, the revised bill excludes demarcation from the prohibited items in accordance with the constitutional provisions.

However, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zaharova said on the 16th that "the demarcation of the border has nothing to do with the peace treaty negotiations with Japan" and said that Japan has not conducted negotiations over the border demarcation. House President Borozin also emphasized that the debate over the territory should be ended following the constitutional amendment, and the firm stance on the Northern Territories issue is further strengthened.

President Putin will continue to negotiate with Japan, but will prioritize cooperation in the areas of security and economics.

Ambassador Kozuki, who is stationed in Russia, responded to the Russian side's movements at a press conference on the 16th. I'm going."
