Russia-Japan ties have long been strained as a peace treaty at the end of World War II was never signed because of Japanese claims to the Kuril islands. This is great news and we fully agree with mr. Putin here. There was a war, Russia won the war fair and square and lost millions of lives in the war, they captured the islands and now Japan wants them back. Well tell you what, then Russia wants all those lives lost back too! Russia didn’t even start the war, it was the Axis powers who started the war (Berlin-Tokyo-Rome alliance) so we fully agree with Russia never to give the islands back. NEVER under any circumstances! Bravo mr. Putin! Just 2 months ago we were really pissed off, Putin said he wanted to give the islands to Japan but now he came to his senses and he changed his mind. Maybe he saw our article and we helped him change his mind, hahaha.

The Kremlin voiced its indignation towards Japan after Tokyo indicated that the contentious Kuril Islands were Japanese territory in the documents prepared for the G20 summit.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated at a briefing that Moscow had filed a note of protest with the Japanese Embassy over Tokyo’s move.

“In this connection, I can inform you that on 2 July, the Russian Foreign Ministry handed a diplomat of the Japanese embassy in Russia a protest note about the use of the G20 summit materials, including audiovisual, by the Japanese side, in which the South Kuril Islands are designated as Japan’s territory”, Zakharova said at a briefing.

Moscow’s reaction comes in response to a video featured at the G20 summit’s official website where Russia’s Kuril islands were presented as a part of Japan. In the video, the Russian Kuril islands Kunashir, Shikotan, Iturup and Habomai are designated as Japanese territories.

The G20 summit took place in Japan’s Osaka last week. The gathering resulted in the announcement of new joint economic projects on the islands, which may signal a thaw in relations between Russia and Japan.

In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that Moscow was not planning to lower the Russian flag over the Kurils, despite Japan’s territorial claims, stressing that the islands remain part of Russia.
