Japan to ban energy imports from Russia

Tokyo, May 9 (UNI) Japan has announced that it will be banning Russian crude oil imports "in principle", Al Jazeera reported on Monday.
The Japanese move is part of a campaign by the Group of Seven(G7) nations, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced after an online meeting of the seven leaders of major industrialized nations.
The G-7 has agreed to ban or gradually phase out oil imports from Russia, in its latest attempt by the West to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the invasion of Ukraine. "For a country heavily dependent on energy imports, it's a very difficult decision," Kishida said. "But G7 coordination is most important at a time like now."
