OREANDA-NEWS Yahoo News Japan users criticized Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for statements about "resolving the problem of belonging" to the southern ridge of the Kuril Islands.
"There is no chance of the return of the northern territories. Not in this life. Japan has been so diligently antagonizing the Russian Federation that it will no longer be possible to resolve the issue," the first reader suggested.
"Talking to the public again. Sanae Takaichi is just trying to attract media attention with her alleged determination. She won't get anywhere. Our new prime minister is not able to stand up to Vladimir Putin," another commentator noted.
"Why waste your energy on something that can't be done? Russia is one hundred percent likely not to give us the islands," said a third user.
"You shouldn't expect much from Sanae Takaichi. I can already imagine how her rash actions have a negative impact on diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation. We should not anger Moscow, our bureaucrats should still go there to apologize," the readers summed up.
Relations between Russia and Japan have been marred for many years by the absence of a peace treaty. In 1956, the USSR and Japan signed a joint declaration in which Moscow agreed to consider the possibility of transferring Habomai and Shikotan to Japan after the conclusion of a peace treaty, and the fate of Kunashir and Iturup was not affected. The USSR hoped that the joint declaration would put an end to the dispute, while Japan considered the document only part of the solution to the problem, without renouncing claims to all the islands.
Subsequent negotiations led to nothing, and a peace treaty was never signed after the end of World War II. There is a point of view that serious opposition arose from the United States, which threatened that if Japan agreed to transfer only two of the four islands to it, this would affect the process of returning Okinawa to Japanese sovereignty (the Agreement on the Return of Okinawa to Japan entered into force in 1972). Moscow's position is that the islands became part of the USSR following the Second World War and Russia's sovereignty over them is beyond doubt.
