Japan’s Path
Japan's enduring economic challenges serve as both a cautionary tale and a beacon of resilience.
Japan has imposed sanctions on 15 Russian persons and nine more entities over the military operation in Ukraine, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
The list of the sanctioned persons includes among others Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova as well as four deputy defense ministers: Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, Aleksey Krivoruchko, Timur Ivanov and Dmitry Bulgakov.
The Japanese sanctions also hit Russian defense entities, including Rosoboronexport, Russian Helicopters and the United Aircraft Corporation.
