Putin Now threats JAPAN on KURIL ISLANDS: We do not TRADE territories

We do not trade territories,” Putin said in an interview with Bloomberg, when asked if he was ready to consider “giving up” one of the Kuril Islands in order to reach a political resolution and greater economic cooperation with Japan.

He added, however, that the “peace treaty with Japan of course is a key one, and we would very much like to find a solution to this problem with our Japanese friends.”
