He also said that Japan fully supports tough sanctions against Russia.
Earlier, Japan declared that it would join anti-Russian sanctions against Russia because of its actions against Ukraine. Restrictive measures include a ban on the issuance of Russian bonds in Japan, a freeze on the assets of some Russians and a travel ban. The Japanese Foreign Ministry reminded that Russia had occupied the southern part of the Kuril Islands, which is contrary to international law.
