Zakharova threatened Japan with retaliatory actions against sanctions against Russia

Russia will not ignore Japan's sanctions. This was announced at a briefing on September 18 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"Japan's next unfriendly actions will not go unanswered, but our response will be thoughtful and based on national interests. We will continue to take adequate countermeasures, including those of an asymmetric nature," Zakharova said.

She stressed that Tokyo's policy makes it difficult to develop bilateral relations.
