Japan’s Ministry of Economy has imposed a new package of sanctions against 57 companies from Russia, 27 from Belarus, as well as from the UAE, Armenia, Syria and Uzbekistan.
The new sanctions will take effect from 22 December. The restrictions will affect such companies as Rostov Research Institute of Radio Communications, Kazan Gunpowder Plant, Central Research Institute “Burevestnik”, Ural Civil Aviation Plant, Special Design Bureau, Bryansk Automobile Plant, 150th Aviation Repair Plant, 810th Aviation Repair Plant, Central Research Chemical and Mechanical Institute and others.
In total, the list includes 494 companies and organisations from Russia, against which Japan has imposed an export ban.
Tokyo had already frozen assets of Russian individuals and groups, and banned the export of goods to Russia’s military-related organisations, as well as the export of construction and engineering services.
On 7 December, Japan’s Ministry of Economy imposed restrictions against nine companies from Russia. In May, the Japanese government also announced additional sanctions against Russia.
