flag Russia says peace talks with Japan over the Kuril Islands are stalled due to Tokyo's "unfriendly" stance and Ukraine-related sanctions.

flag Russia says no peace talks are currently underway with Japan over the disputed Kuril Islands, citing Tokyo's "unfriendly" stance and sanctions over Ukraine as reasons for the breakdown in relations, which Moscow says have been reduced to zero. flag Despite Japan's repeated calls for dialogue and reaffirmation of its goal to resolve the territorial dispute and sign a peace treaty, Russia insists that meaningful negotiations are impossible without a shift in the current dynamics. flag The unresolved conflict, rooted in post-WWII territorial claims, has prevented a formal peace agreement since 1945.
