PoliticsPutin: Tokyo changed position despite previously constructive ties with Russia

Vladimir Putin says Tokyo has shifted its position despite what he described as previously constructive relations with Russia. He recalled that the Soviet Union and Japan signed a declaration in the mid-1950s. According to Putin, that document opened the way toward a peace treaty. It also created a path toward resolving the issue of the Kuril Islands.
