    Kremlin slams US statement about the situation in Mariupol

The US State Department's accusation that Russian President Vladimir Putin's statements about the situation in Mariupol were "disinformation" is false, according to Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Friday.

On Thursday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu informed Putin that Mariupol had been taken over by Russian forces, but that insurgents remained on the territory of the besieged Azovstal steel complex. According to the State Department, the notion that the city is under Russian control is "misinformation".

"There is not a bit of truth in these [US] statements. We suggest everyone focus on the information that was provided yesterday through the Defense Ministry, which was reported by Defense Minister Shoigu at a meeting with President Putin," Peskov told reporters.

The UK's decision to grant Gazprombank a license, allowing the Russian bank to handle payments for gas shipments to the EU, is pragmatic, according to Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Friday.

"It is all purely pragmatic. You know that we do not consider all these sanctions legal, we consider them illegal. And we continue to treat them that way. And this whole situation, which was started by the EU countries, the UK, and the US, and several other countries that have adopted all these sets of restrictions, they, among other things, complicate their lives significantly," Peskov told reporters.

Kremlin: Japan unfriendly country to Russia, difficult to talk about Peace Treaty 

Because Japan has become an unfriendly country to Russia, it is difficult to discuss the continuation of peace treaty negotiations, according to Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Friday.

"It is obvious that now when Japan has become an unfriendly country and has joined a series of hostile actions against Russia, it is very difficult to talk about the continuation of the negotiation process," Peskov told reporters.

Peskov stated that "all four islands are integral components of Russia" in response to Tokyo's declaration about the southern Kuril Islands.
