“Japan takes an extremely unfriendly position towards the Russian Federation,” he said.
According to him, this is not at all conducive to the development of trade and economic relations.
Thus, he commented on the situation with the Sakhalin-2 project.
Earlier it was reported that the Japanese authorities asked Russia through diplomatic channels for clarifications on the timing and a number of other details of the decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Sakhalin-2 project.
On June 30, Putin signed a decree on the application of special economic measures in the fuel and energy sector in connection with the unfriendly actions of a number of countries.
According to the document, Sakhalin Energy, the operator of the Sakhalin-2 project, will be replaced by a new, Russian legal entity.
