Moscow rejects claims Tokyo due to the military events in the Kuril Islands, said the official Commissioner of the foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. first the defence Ministry of Japan introduced the report, which called the Southern Kurils " illegally occupied Japanese native lands." She added that the foreign Ministry is surprised divorced from reality statements Tokyo. In her expressions, they are imbued with distrust of Russia's actions. While Zakharov assured that the defense events are aimed at the effective maintenance of national security. Moscow and Tokyo many decades trying to conclude a peace Treaty on the results of the Second world war. The main obstacle to this remains the issue of belonging of the South Kuril Islands: Field complete confrontation of the entire archipelago became part of the Soviet Union, but Tokyo disputes ownership of the Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan and group of uninhabited Islands that the Japanese call the Islands the " Northern territories ". The position of the capital of Russia is that the Southern Kuril Islands became part of the Soviet Union as a result of the war and the Russian sovereignty over them, which has the appropriate international legal formalization, can not be doubted. in 2018, Vladimir Putin and Shinzo Abe agreed to accelerate the negotiation process on the conclusion of a peace Treaty between the 2 countries. <span style="color:darkgray
