Background

The pipeline was first proposed in 1974 but negotiations between Russia (then the USSR) and Japan faltered over the issue of Japanese islands seized by Soviet troops during World War II. In 1998 the Japan Pipeline Development Organization (JPDO) was formed to purse the project with Russia. In May 2021 Gazprom stated that it was not considering building the pipeline.
