Russia does not discuss possible military deployments on the Kuril Islands during its peace treaty negotiations with Japan, Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov said on Tuesday, APA reports citing Sputnik.

"I'm not aware of plans about our military construction, but this has nothing to do with the peace treaty negotiations. Russian military construction is not discussed at these negotiations", Morgulov told reporters, when asked about the possible deployment of Russia's Bastion coastal defence missile system on the disputed islands.
