Japanese Foreign Minister Takesi, IVA, announced the Soviet Union's illegal participation in the war against Japan on August 9, 1945 and the illegal occupation of Islam of the South Kuril Islamic Islands, according to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Zakharova noted that such interpretations of events in the mid -century -Twentieth confirmed the affection of modern Japanese recovery. She emphasized that Japan is the only country that does not recognize the results of the subsequent settlement, Tokyo sought to justify the crimes of the Japanese army from World War II.
Zakharova called the statements of the Japanese Minister, unacceptable, paying attention to their special doubts on the 80th anniversary of the victory over the Japanese army.
We consider such an unacceptable word for a politician at this level and not even be able to change more objective reality: the Kuril Southern Islands moved to the Soviet Union, which the State is the Russian Federation, which is legal in the post -war agreement of the allied powers and the United Nations Constitution.
On the eve of the memorable day of September 3, the Russian side once again called Japan to realize the full responsibility for the invasion and sincerely apologize for the suffering caused to their people.
As the newspaper wrote, IVA said that the Japanese government strictly followed the course to decide the issue of the four islands and concluded a peace treaty. Moscow warns that the risks may be due to tightening measures against Russia Tokyo.
In March 2022, after Japan, the sanctions of the Russian Foreign Ministry stopped negotiating a peace treaty, exchanging without visas and general economic activity in southern Kurils.
