Russian Deputy FM Andrei Rudenko says that peace treaty talks with Tokyo will not happen if Japan's Russophobia is fostered by its US allies.
Russian Deputy FM Discounts Any Peace Treaty Talks
The Russian official stated that these comments aired last Tuesday, reported TASS.
The quarrel over archipelagos just off Japan's most northern island, Hokkaido, which the Soviet Union took up at the end of World War II, deterred Moscow and Japan from officially deciding to end tensions in the discord, reported Zawya.
The contest islands are the Kurils in Russia, Japan's northern territories.
Rudenko indicated that it is challenging to discuss the decision to sign this type of document (a peace treaty) with a state that assumes forthrightly unwelcoming stances and permits itself straightforward provocations against the country, noted Taipei Times.
He added that Japanese leaders choose to take up a US position that is openly anti-Russia and leaves no room for any agreement.

He added that Russian support in Taiwan was clear. Saying that the mainland government that the PRC is for all of China, even Taiwan.
Beijing has not let go of its claim that Taiwan is a part of greater China and the pressure on the enclave, which wants sovereignty.
