During his speech in the House of Representatives (the lower house of the Japanese parliament), the head of the Japanese government, Shinzo Abe, made a statement that there would be no signing of a peace treaty with the Russian Federation until a clear border marking, in other words, its demarcation occurs.
In the course of communication, one of the deputies asked about the possibility of signing a treaty, provided that Russia transfers only two islands to Russia - Habomai and Shikotan, noting that the subject of negotiations is all islands, and there are four of them. Abe answered this assumption with a categorical refusal.
Earlier it was reported that during the Eastern Economic Forum, the President of the Russian Federation proposed the head of the Japanese government to sign a peace treaty without any additional conditions, but in response, he heard that this was unacceptable for the Japanese side and no border would be signed without a definition.
