Japan has now announced a set of sanctions against Russia over its actions in Ukraine.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he would ban the issuance of Russian bonds in Japan, and impose visa bans and asset freezes on a number of Russian individuals.
Kishida said Moscow's recent decision to order troops into eastern Ukraine had violated Ukraine's sovereignty.
He stressed that Tokyo was prepared to impose additional measures should the situation escalate.
