Japanese PM blasts Russia's decision to withdraw from dialogue on peace treaty

Tokyo [Japan], March 22 (ANI/Sputnik): Russia's decision to withdraw from dialogue with Japan on a peace treaty is unacceptable, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said during hearings in the country's upper house of parliament.
"This is unacceptably tough, absolutely unjustified and inadmissible. We voice a strong protest," Kishida said.
At the same time, answering a lawmaker's question regarding Tokyo's position on the issue of territories and the peace treaty, Kishida said it has not changed.
"But, as I said before, in light of the events in Ukraine, a dialogue with the Russian Federation is now impossible," he said. (ANI/Sputnik)
