Russia bans entry to Japan’s PM, officials: ministry

MOSCOW, 05 May 2022, (TON): Russia said “it has banned entry to several dozen Japanese officials, including Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, after Tokyo joined international sanctions against Moscow over its military campaign in Ukraine.”

The foreign ministry said in a statement “the administration of F. Kishida launched an unprecedented anti-Russian campaign (and) allows unacceptable rhetoric against the Russian Federation, including slander and direct threats.”

The ministry added “it is echoed by public figures, experts, representatives of Japanese media, who are completely engaged by the attitudes of the West toward our country.”

It accused Tokyo of taking “practical steps aimed at dismantling good neighborly ties, damaging the Russian economy and the international prestige of the country.”
