Comments by Japanese users on news.yahoo.co.jp, who responded to a short note about the tough reaction of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

One more vote on the scales of those who believe that this is the only correct interpretation of international law. As expected of our allied America. It's nice to think that the thief in the fire never got the right to claim territory

Japan insists that the Kuril Islands, which were ceded under the San Francisco Peace Treaty, do not include these areas. Chinese President Mao Zedong also told Khrushchev that the northern territories belong to Japan. Zhou Enlai too. This time, it became clear that the United States also takes this point of view.

This is proof that one of the victorious countries recognized the four northern islands as Japanese territory. Given Russia's hasty response, this US statement weakens its position [...]

The final conclusion of World War II was the San Francisco Peace Treaty between the Allies and Japan. Russia, which calls itself one of the allies, must respect the decision of the San Francisco Peace Treaty

It is encouraging that our ally spoke. And Japan itself, which is a party to this issue, is delaying something. We must stop all joint projects [with the Russian Federation] and restrict the flow of goods and investments to it

"The results of World War II are being revised ..." I do not want to hear this from a country that unilaterally tore up the Soviet-Japanese non-aggression pact and declared war on us

There will be no forgiveness for the Russians for invading Japanese territory, capturing the Japanese, forcing them to work in inhuman conditions
- int was checked.
The US position is encouraging, but the work of the Japanese government is not visible here at all. We have no complaints about the Russians currently living in the northern territories, but I would like it to be recognized that they invaded, violating the Soviet-Japanese non-aggression pact

For the United States, which returned Okinawa to us, it is natural that Russia should do the same with the northern territories. And if someone [on the islands] applies for a Green Card, then he must follow the American policy.
However, the United States is also interested in the fact that negotiations on the return of the northern territories are never successful.

[…] Some countries, much smaller than Japan, are defending themselves without relying on allies. I believe that we are able to stand up for ourselves. The rest is just emotion
