Japan expanded sanctions against Russia in view of the special military operation underway now in Ukraine, Japan’s Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
Twenty-five Russians were added to the sanction list, including chief executive of the Russian development corporation Igor Shuvalov and relatives of Russian officials and businessmen. Certain restrictions apply to them, including the asset freeze.
Japan also introduced additional export sanctions by expanding the list of blacklisted companies and organizations from 49 to 130, including Russian shipbuilders, electronic and technical producers, such as the Amur Shipyard and the Russian Space Systems.
Japanese authorities also announced the ban on luxury goods export to Russia.
