Japan slaps new sanctions on Russia

YEREVAN, September 24. / ARKA /. Japan said on Wednesday it was imposing additional sanctions on Russia because of its involvement in the Ukraine conflict, RBC reported.

The new measures include banning Russian Sberbank, VTB, Vnesheconombank, Gazprombank and Rosselkhozbank from issuing securities in Japan and stepping up inspections to prevent arms being shipped to Russia, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said.

But Suga also said there was no change in Tokyo’s policy of maintaining dialogue with Moscow.
“Japan continues to work together with the G7 nations and the international society to resolve the situation in Ukraine in a peaceful and diplomatic manner,” Suga said.

Japan has already issued two sets of sanctions on Russia this year, but the latest restrictive measures bring it in line with those laid out by the United States and the European Union in recent weeks.

Russia’s foreign ministry says it is disappointed with new sanctions imposed by Japan, calling the decision to impose them ‘illogical and an unfriendly step.” -0-
