Russia's Foreign Ministry Vows Retaliatory Actions Against Fresh Sanctions Imposed by Japan
In a significant development, Japan's government has announced new sanctions against Russia and several foreign companies. This decision is part of the ongoing anti-Russian measures, as reported by RIA "New Day" in an article published in 2025.
The sanctions include the freezing of assets belonging to 14 individuals and 47 organisations in Japan. However, the Russian Foreign Ministry has not disclosed the specific foreign companies targeted by these sanctions.
At a briefing, Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented on these sanctions. She emphasised that Russia's response will be thoughtful and based on national interests. Zakharova also noted that illegal sanctions always lead to further degradation of the situation in the country that imposes them, but she did not specify the exact nature of the degradation.
In response to these sanctions, the Russian Foreign Ministry has stated that Moscow will take countermeasures, including asymmetrical ones. While the specific countermeasures have not been publicly detailed, Russia has previously ended bilateral agreements such as the memorandum on Japan Centers, which aimed to foster cultural and economic exchanges. This move reflects a deterioration in relations between the two nations.
Anastasia Smirnova, a prominent figure, was also featured in the article. Russia has condemned Japan's recent sanctions as hostile and has promised asymmetrical retaliatory measures. However, the exact nature of these countermeasures remains undisclosed.
This latest development in the ongoing tensions between Japan and Russia is a concerning sign for global relations. As more information becomes available, it will be crucial to monitor the situation closely.
