Where Japan expressed its readiness to work with the G7 countries to ban oil imports from Russia in light of the latest events of the Ukraine crisis.

Hagiuda added that his government will aim to ensure that Japanese companies do not incur losses if Russia responds to economic sanctions with similar decisions.
