Kishida announces additional sanctions on Russia

Japan's Prime Minister Kishida Fumio announced new sanctions on Russia on Friday. It comes amid growing calls for Moscow to be held responsible for the mass killing of civilians in Ukraine.

Kishida said, "Russian troops have killed civilians and attacked nuclear facilities, gravely violating international humanitarian law. It is an act of war crime that can never be tolerated. Such inhumane acts need to be held accountable."

He said Japan will support independent investigations by the International Criminal Court and the UN.

Japan will ban the import of Russian coal and some other products, including machinery and timber.
