Senator Abramov said Russia's response to Japan's sanctions should be mirrored

“The response should be mirrored in relation to Japan, as well as Japanese companies that work for us,” he said.

The senator also expressed the opinion that Tokyo is primarily harming itself with its sanctions.

Earlier it was reported that in accordance with the new sanctions, the Japanese authorities banned the import of Russian gold and the provision of a number of financial services in the Russian Federation.
