When asked to comment on Japan’s position on this matter he replied:
"We would like to properly study the measures that are considered effective, in cooperation with the international community, primarily with the G7 countries."
On Tuesday, US President Joe Biden signed an executive order to ban imports of Russian energy resources and new investments in Russia’s energy sector. The UK also announced plans to refuse to import Russian oil and petroleum products by the end of 2022.

At the same time, Tokyo has not introduced any restrictions on the supply of energy resources. In recent years, the share of Russia in the total volume of Japanese oil imports was about 3.6%, LNG - 8.8%.
