Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed an amendment to the law that can impose imprisonment on those who commit acts that lead to the ceding of their territory, and is willing to protect the territory including the northern territory. I am strengthening.
In Russia, related legislation is being developed in line with the constitutional amendment that took place in July.
Of these, President Putin has proposed an amendment to the law that would allow imprisonment of 6 to 10 years for those who committed acts that led to the ceding of their territory and fines for those who called for ceding. I signed the day.
The law states that "the act of demarcating borders is excluded" from the prohibited items in accordance with the contents of the Constitution, and it seems that President Putin has left room to continue negotiations on a peace treaty with Japan.
However, a series of amendments to the law following the constitutional amendment have further strengthened the stance of local Russians not to hand over the islands, and the Putin administration has further strengthened its armaments on the islands. We are strengthening our stance on conservation.
On the other hand, the Japanese government has said that it will work persistently under the basic policy of resolving the territorial dispute and concluding a peace treaty, but the face-to-face summit meeting between the two countries will be affected by the spread of the new coronavirus infection. I haven't been able to do it for over a year.
