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.
Japan's Russophobia Is a Hindrance
Moscow did not continue talks in March last year when Tokyo followed Joe Biden's lead in sanctioning Russia over the Donbas special operation.
However, Tokyo would find the move of Moscow unfair and unacceptable despite sanctioning at the behest of Washington.
On one side, Rudenko indicated the Kremlin upholds the "One China" policy that the US trashed on the Taiwan issues. He made it clear that Beijing got its support over the enclave, where defeated Chinese forces went after the defeat in 1949.
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.
