Japan imposes more sanctions on Russia

Japan's Cabinet has agreed to impose new sanctions on Russia following Moscow's move to unilaterally annex four regions in Ukraine, reported from NHK. 

A total of 81 people and nine organizations will be added to a list of those subject to asset freezing.

They include pro-Russia separatists in eastern and southern Ukraine, who are believed to have been directly responsible for the unilateral annexation. Also included are senior government officials and military-related organizations.
