Japan has revealed the conditions for resuming dialogue on a peace treaty with Russia

Japan intends to resume negotiations on a peace treaty with Russia as soon as the situation permits, the Japanese embassy in Moscow told Izvestia.

"We have paid attention to the statements of the Russian leadership, and we intend to resume negotiations on a peace treaty with our neighbor, Russia, as soon as the situation permits," the Tokyo diplomatic mission in Moscow said.
