The decision was approved by the cabinet. It includes the imposition of measures against two daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the wife of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, according to the Japanese news agency Kyodo.
All new investments in Russia and the import of certain types of wood and machinery from April 19 have also been banned, while the funds of the Russian banks Alfabank and Sberbank will be frozen in the Japanese jurisdiction from May 12.
