Lavrov called the terms of the transfer of Japan Kuril Islands

The Foreign Minister announced the conditions for the transfer of the two Kuril Islands to Japan.

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sergei Lavrov, announced that Russia is ready to fulfill the agreement on the transfer of two islands to the Kuril group to Japan, but for this Japan must fulfill a number of important conditions, one of which is the conclusion of a peace treaty following the Second World War.

According to the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Russia may well transfer two islands of the Kuril group of islands to Japan, but only "As a gesture of goodwill".

“According to that agreement, the Soviet Union will not be in the order of return, but in the order of a gesture of goodwill, in order to take into account the interests of the good-neighborly Japanese people, it will be ready to hand over Habomai and Shikotan Island. Our president has repeatedly explained that this obligation is not of a direct kind — there is still to be discussed how, when, in what capacity. The conclusion of a peace treaty would mean Japan’s recognition of the outcome of the Second World War. This is an essential step in any negotiations on the Kuril Islands. So far, our colleagues are not ready for this. In every way they make it clear that this will not work, but this is a serious thing. ”- said Sergey Lavrov on the air of the radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda".

Nevertheless, experts are concerned about the fact that Russia can really take such a step, since in this case Japan, as well as its allies, including the United States, can deploy air defense, missile defense and combat aircraft on the islands. , which will create certain threats to the national interests of Russia.

In the war of SovArmii with the Kwantung Army of Japan, they died (ALREADY AFTER THE PARADAD OF THE VICTORY 24 June 1945 on Red CEMETERY) near 36th Soviet Warriors and around 100thys were wounded. But this could not have happened if the USSR complied with the provisions of the NENA PROTECT. from April 1941, prisoner FOR 5 YEARS to 1946! Japan obeyed him, no matter how much Hitler strained them, and the USSR impudently spat, and even captured the territory of Japan: 4 of the Kuril Islands and half of Sakhalin: so did the ALL YOUR IMPERIAL = KHAMIC history, so and now Russia-country = terrorist-s acupchik. And the Japanese for the seizure of their lands HATE Russian terrorist more than the US for atomic bombing. And Japan respects Ukraine - only for the last 4 of the year, investments and assistance more than 3 billion, and there will be more!

I hope that this is such a maneuver of Putin, how to continue this game with Japan for a long time, but to give in no way, we will never forgive our government and president

Let first hold a referendum in the country and learn the will of the people. The Japanese do not want to sign a peace treaty and do not. We live more than 70-years without him and we will continue to live, so if we give up the islands, all the results of the post-war agreements will be in question. Let him give his own apartment to anyone he wants, and don’t even think about giving up the country’s territory. We tolerate a lot of things, but it will be beyond the limits. It’s better to leave immediately.

First, Japan returns the gold of Imperial Russia, then terminates the security agreement with the United States, and then you can begin negotiations.
