Russia today vowed to retaliate against Japan after Tokyo imposed sanctions on Moscow over its Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Japan has sided with the West by imposing an unprecedented package of sanctions on Russia in the four months since Russia launched the war in Ukraine.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced earlier today Tokyo’s latest moves, including a ban on Russian gold imports, a new asset freeze and export bans on a number of Russian individuals and companies.
The Russian ambassador to Japan criticized Tokyo’s move, accusing it of damaging relations between the two countries.
The sanctions are “short-sighted and affect Japan itself, especially the business community,” Mikhail Galuzhin said in a statement posted on the Russian embassy’s Facebook page.
“Obviously, such an escalation of the hostile policy towards Russia will be taken into account for our future approach to Japan and will be answered,” he wrote.
Russia has responded to harsh Western sanctions with a series of retaliations, including bans on journalists, politicians and businessmen from the United States, Britain and Canada.
