TOKYO, September 24 (RIA Novosti) - The Japanese government has imposed additional sanctions against Russia, the Kyodo news agency reported Wednesday.
The sanctions include restrictions placed on several Russian banks, the agency said.
In March, Japan suspended talks with Moscow on visa restrictions and slowed the start of negotiations on dangerous military activities in space prevention and investment cooperation. In April, the country banned visas for 23 Russian officials.
In early August, the Japanese government implemented sanctions against 39 politicians and officials who represented the Republic of Crimea, as well as Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics.
Japan also implemented a ban on the import of goods from Crimea.
Putin repeatedly stated that using sanctions in foreign policy is not effective and never yields any results, warning that sanctions cause certain damage to those using this measure.
