“We are shocked by what happened and are following the development of the situation.
We hope that ex-Prime Minister Abe will avoid danger and recover as soon as possible," TASS quoted him as saying.
At the same time, he asked not to link what happened with Sino-Japanese relations.
Earlier it was reported that Abe was assassinated during his street speech during the election campaign in the city of Nara.
According to the latest data, Abe shows no signs of life.
According to media reports, the shooter during interrogation said that he was dissatisfied with the politician and wanted to kill him.
