Japan imposes new sanctions on 25 Russians in response to Ukraine war

Japan will freeze the assets of 25 more Russian citizens and ban exports to 81 Russian organizations, the country’s finance ministry said in a press release on Friday.

This brings the total number of Russians affected by Japan’s asset freeze to 101 people.

The targets of the new sanctions include Igor Shuvalov, a former Russian deputy prime minister and chairman of Vnesheconombank, a large state-owned bank, and five relatives of the oligarch Sergey Chemezov, according to Japan’s finance ministry.

The export of luxury goods will also be banned, the ministry said.

Tokyo has applied a series of punitive measures against Moscow in recent weeks. The latest sanctions come after Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida pledged on Wednesday to offer more support to Ukraine at the G7 summit in Brussels.
