Currently the Honorable Emperor of Japan Taisho wishes to seize these grounds in hopes of remilitarizing Japan's navy. Should you accept. Japan shall pay $60000 in USD to the Russian government and control and annex the cities. Should you refuse. You shall face the Japanese military and a possible declaration of war.

I cannot promise that Japan shall not only seize these ports if war is unavoidable respond quickly please as the Emperor has limited patience.

The Russian government refuses to cede the port of Vladivostok to Japan, but instead offers the northern portion of the highly valuable island of Sakhalin, of which Japan already controls the south of. However, Russia will gladly cede Shanghai to Japan.

Russia would also like to take the time to remind Britain and France of prestanding military alliances signed in 1907 and 1884 respectively.

Another edit, Russia accepts the offer of alliance with Greece (SortaCultured)
