Stalemate Over Peace: Russia-Japan Treaty Talks
Russia demands Japan to abandon its 'anti-Russian' policies before peace treaty negotiations can commence. The current geopolitical stance of Japan, as per Moscow, has hindered bilateral cooperation. Russia and Japan have yet to sign a treaty formally ending their World War II hostilities.

The Russian government's position is firm: no peace treaty talks with Japan will proceed until Tokyo alters what Moscow views as an 'anti-Russian' stance. This condition was clearly stated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday.
Maria Zakharova, the ministry's spokesperson, emphasized that Japan's current foreign policies are solely responsible for the current deadlock in bilateral relations.
As noted, Russia, which has stood as the main successor of the Soviet Union, remains without a formal peace treaty with Japan, a situation pending since World War II.
