The G7 countries are considering a near-complete ban on exports to the Russian Federation. It is reported by the Kyodo agency, citing a source in the Japanese government.
Meanwhile, Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yasutoshi Nishimura declined to comment. He noted that this issue “concerns diplomatic negotiations”.
Recall that earlier it became known that the West plans to ban the export of almost all goods to Russia. According to Bloomberg, G7 leaders are discussing the initiative ahead of the May summit in Japan.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the sanctions would be in effect for a long time. According to the president, it is necessary to work out measures for the sovereign development of the country in the long term.
