Japan’s Financial Sanctions against Russia

WASHINGTON, 01 March 2022, (TON): Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State has said that he spoke this morning with Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi and our G-7 counterparts, and, together, we reaffirmed that we have never been more fully aligned across the globe to defend and preserve the freedom and sovereignty of Ukraine and all states.

We stand resolutely together against Russia’s premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified attack.

Japan’s announcement of comprehensive financial sanctions to isolate Russia from the international financial system demonstrates the unity and resolve of the United States, Japan, and other G-7 partners to stop Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

These actions will deny selected Russian banks access to the global SWIFT financial messaging system, impose restrictions on the Bank of Russia, and sanction key Russian leaders, including President Putin.
