From the rules promulgated for the Green Card draw, it follows that the US Department of State considers those born in the South Kuril Islands to be natives of Japan. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the United States a “revisionist power.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, after promulgated instructions to get the Green Card, urged the United States not to cross the “red lines”. About that He says in the message of the Russian Foreign Ministry on Twitter.
It follows from the Green Card lottery rules that those born in the South Kuril Islands are considered by the US State Department to be native to Japan. “People born on the islands of Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashir and Iturup [южная часть Курил]they belong to Japan. Those born in southern Sakhalin belong to Russia, “read the instructions for those who wish to emigrate to the United States.
“Do we need more proof that the United States is a revisionist power? By the 1945 decision, the Kuril Islands seceded to the USSR. Today, the State Department questions the results of World War II, encourages revenge. Learn about its borders and “red lines,” said the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The unresolved territorial dispute over the southern Kuriles remains between Moscow and Tokyo – Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan islands and the Habomai group. The Japanese side calls the Southern Kurils “northern territories” and does not recognize them as Russian. Moscow does not recognize the very fact of the territorial dispute.
In September 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered Japan to conclude a peace treaty before the end of the year without preconditions. However, Japanese Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said on the same day that until the territorial dispute over the Kuril Islands is resolved, Japan will not conclude a peace treaty with Russia.
In October, then-Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced that he was ready to conclude a peace treaty with Russia only after the Kuril Islands became part of Japan.
In a meeting in Singapore with Putin on November 14, Abe promised that if the Kuril Islands were transferred to Japan, they would not host US military bases.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in November that the talks did not address the automatic transfer of the islands to Japan.
On January 1, 2019, Abe noted that the relocation of the Kuril Islands to Japan should not cause problems for Russian citizens living in this territory.
