Love to see the expense account.

Russia is still upset over losing the Russo-Japanese War back in the beginning of the 20th century, and with the territorial losses that ensued. What reason would Putin have for giving up Russian land, other than a massive bribe from the Japanese government?
BTW, it was during the Russo-Japanese War that Imperial Japan conquered Korea. The Treaty of Portsmouth then recognized Japanese control of Korea.

Japan to Russia:- Hi guys, have you changed your minds yet about returning our 4 islands?
Russia to Japan:- Hi. As you know those 4 islands are ours in perpetuity. Anything else you want to know?
Japan to Russia:- No, that was all. Good talk. We should catch up again soon. Goodbye.
Russia to Japan:- Goodbye.
Cost of meeting to each nation probably a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars.
Achievments of meeting = NIL

I am pushing for a "Okinawa" solution, return civil administration to Japan and retain Russian bases on these islands.
