| | Indeed, the unspoken rationale behind Moscow's most recent bargaining appeared to involve dangling the possibility of returning two of the islands to Japan in exchange for finalization of the peace treaty deal and what Moscow hopes would be a follow-up surge of Japanese economic aid to--and investment in--Russia. | | | The Russian Foreign Ministry criticized the Japanese side for breaking what it said was the confidentiality of Russian-Japanese negotiations, and denied that any such framework agreement had been reached. | | | Mori said that the frameworks agreement had been reached during talks in early April between a head of the Japanese Foreign Ministry's European Affairs Bureau, Kazuhiko Togo, and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Losyukov. |
