Kishida launched an unprecedented anti-Russian campaign allows unacceptable rhetoric against the Russian Federation, including slander and direct threats,” the foreign ministry said in a statement. It accused Tokyo of taking “practical steps aimed at dismantling good neighborly ties, damaging the Russian economy and the international prestige of the country”. The ministry said it was “indefinitely” banning from Russia 63 Japanese citizens, including the prime minister, cabinet members, lawmakers, journalists, and professors.
